Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Adsorption coefficient (Koc): 0.0137 L/Kg as hexahydrophthalic acid
Adsorption coefficient (Koc): 190 L/Kg as hexahydrophthalic anhydride
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 0.014
Additional information
The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of hexahydrophthalic acid (HHPAc) was estimated, from KOCWIN using the LogKow (logD) method, to have a log10Koc value of -1.863 (equivalent Koc= 0.0137).
According to the McCall classification scheme of soil mobility potential, the substance would be regarded as very highly mobile (0 < Koc < 50) on soil.
The adsorption coefficient (Koc) of hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) was determined, using the HPLC method in accordance with OECD/EU test guidelines, to have a log10Kocvalue of 2.3 (equivalent Koc= 190). According to the McCall classification scheme of soil mobility potential, the substance would be regarded as having medium mobility in soil.
Because hexahydrophthalic anhydride is hydrolysed practically instantaneously to its acid form (HHPAc), then for the environmental and PBT assessments the above substance was considered more significant, with Koc= 0.0137.
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.
