Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The environmental distribution of farnesane was estimated to primarily to water (63.9%) and sediment (28%) with smaller amounts to air (6.9%) and soil (1.27%)
Executive summary:

The environmental distribution of farnesane was estimated using the QSAR modelling programme EpiSuite v 4.11 which includes a Level III fugacity model (LEVEL3NT.exe). The model output predicts that farnesane will partition primarily to water (63.9%) and sediment (28%) with small amounts to air (6.9% ) and soil (1.27%)
