Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

Adsorption / desorption

Parent compound tetradecyl chloroformate and hydrolysis product tetradecanol: Adsorption to solid soil phase is expected.

However, the assessment of the adsorption potential of the parent compound may be of low relevance due to the rapid hydrolysis of the chloroformate in aqueous solutions.

Henry's Law constant

Parent compound tetradecyl chloroformate: From the water surface, the substance will rapidly evaporate into the atmosphere.

Hydrolysis product tetradecanol: From the water surface, the substance will slowly evaporate into the atmosphere.

However, the assessment of the volatility of the parent compound may be of low relevance due to the rapid hydrolysis of the chloroformate in aqueous solutions.

Distribution modelling

Parent compound tetradecyl chloroformate: Over time, the substance will preferentially distribute into the compartments air (15.1%), sediment (42.4%) and soil (42%). However, the model calculation may be of low relevance as the compound rapidly decomposes in water.

Hydrolysis product tetradecanol: Over time, the substance will preferentially distribute into the compartments air (3.19%), sediment (48.2%) and soil (47.7%)

However, the model does not consider the ionic structure of the molecule at environmentally relevant pH conditions. Therefore, the model may underestimate the distribution into water.
