Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The ready biodegradation test indicates that ethylmethylcarbonate is readily biodegradable with 98% biodegradation after 28 days (passing 60% degradation within 10 days of passing 10%). According to column 2 of REACH annex VIII, it was not necessary to conduct the hydrolysis test as ethylmethylcarbonate was determined to be readily biodegradable.
Adsorption/desorption: the adsorption coefficient of ethylmethylcarbonate was determined using the HPLC method. Under the conditions of the study, the adsorption coefficient of ethylmethylcarbonate was 1.58 (log Koc = 0.199). This finding suggests that ethylmethylcarbonate is unlikely to exhibit binding to soil or sediment particulates.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
