Description of key information
Cyclohexylamine has a measured log Koc of 3.4 at 25 °C and a pH of 6.7 (Currenta , 2010). According to Swann et al. (1993) cyclohexylamine has a high potential to sorb on soil.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In case more than 10 % of the test item is dissociated at pH 6, a second test has to be performed at a pH where the test item is undissociated. The pKa value of the test item Cyclohexylamine accounts for 10.68 (Perrin, 1965) having the nonionic form solely at pH values approximately greater 11. As the prescribed analytical column for the HPLC method is not suitable for strong basic conditions (outside operating range), the measurement was performed at pH 6 only.
Based on the dissociation constant of 10.68 (Perrin, 1965), the substance will, under environmental relevant conditions (pH 4 to 9), be present solely in the protonated form. Therefore, the measured logKoc reflects the properties of the protonated form rather than the neutral species and thus the properties of the environmental relevant species.
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.
