Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
An experimentally determined log Koc=2.8 (Koc=692) was obtained in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 121 and EU Method C.19. The calculation yielded a log Koc=2.9 (Koc=817).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 692
Additional information
The soil adsorption coefficient of alpha-methylstyrene was determined in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 121 and EU Method C.19. The soil adsorption coefficient log Koc was determined to be 2.8 (Koc=692). The calculation (EPIWIN v3.11, PCKOC v1.66) of the soil sorption coefficient Koc of alpha-methylstyrene yielded a Koc=817 (log Koc=2.9). Based on the results and taking into account the classification scheme of Blume and Ahlsdorf (1993), alpha-methylstyrene can be regarded as a substance with high sorption potential onto soil organic matter.
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.
