Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Russel et al. (1986) investigated the adsorption/desorption potential of different phthalate esters in soil. In this non-guideline study they used natural soil from Broome Count, NY with an organic carbon content of 1.59 %. By use of HPLC-GC, a Koc of 1386 and a logKoc of 3.14 werde measured indicating the potential for bindign to solid soil phase and/or organic carbon. Furthermore, the behaviour of DBP in the adsorption/desorption test supports the theory of a two-step adsorption and/or desorption mechanism involving a fast diffusion to the surface of the bound organic carbon on the soil and a slower diffusion into (or out of) this organic gel matrix.
