Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Equilibrium partition occurs across all three main phases.
Executive summary:

Mackay fugacity modelling (level 1) indicates that, in the absence of degradation, the substance partitions mainly to air (45%) but with roughly equal amounts of what remains partioned to the aqueous and soil phases.
