Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Additional information

Hexyl chloroformate is expected to rapidly hydrolyse in contact with water to form hexanol (111-27-3 ), hydrogen chloride (CAS 7647-01-0) and carbon dioxide (CAS 124-38-9). Due to the rapid hydrolysis, the assessment of the adsorption potential of the parent compound is considered to be of low relevance. For hydrogen chloride and carbon dioxide no data relevant for transport and distribution are available. Therefore, the assessment is based solely on the data available for hexanol.

Adsorption/Desorption

Adsorption to solid soil phase is not expected. For the hydrolysis product hexanol log Koc values for the uncharged molecule were calculated to be 43.3 and 11.53 when based on the log Kow method and MCI method respectively.

Henry's law constant

The substance will not evaporate into the atmosphere from the water surface. For the hydrolysis product hexanol the Henry's law constant was calculated to be 1.78 Pa·m³/mol based on the Bond Contribution Method.
