Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type:
BCF
Value:
21.36 L/kg
Remarks on result:
other: (Log BCF from regression-based method = 1.330; log Kow used: 11.49)

The BCF of DUP was 21.36 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 1.330).

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The BCF of diundecyl phthalate was 21.36 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 1.330).
Executive summary:

Using the BCFBAF v3.01 model of EPI Suite v4.11, the BCF of Diundecyl phthalate was 21.36 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 1.330).

Description of key information

Key study. Data from EPI-Suite, EPA (USA) / BCFBAF v3.01 calculation method. The BCF of the test substance was calculated to be 21.36 L/kg.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
21.36 L/kg ww

Additional information

Key study. Using the BCFBAF v3.01 model of EPI Suite v4.11, the BCF of Diundecyl phthalate was 21.36 L/kg wet-wt (log BCF from regression-based method = 1.330).

According to Annex XIII to REACH, the substance is considered not to fulfil the criterion for bioaccumulation, since the estimated BCF (BCF = 21.36 L/kg wet-wt) is < 2000.
