Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Stability

Methyl p-hydroxycinnamate contains an ester group that can hydrolize. The hydrolized of ester occurs only in strong conditions not usually present in the environment.

 

Biodegradation

No experimental data is available regarding biodegradability of Methyl p-hydroxycinnamate.

Ready biodegradability is predicted for Methyl p-hydroxycinnamate by BIOWIN v.4.10.

  

Bioaccumulation

No experimental data is available regarding bioaccumulation of  Methyl p-hydroxycinnamate.

Low potential of bioconcentration is predicted for Methyl p-hydroxycinnamate by BCFBAF v.3.01 (log BCF = 0.905; BCF = 8.041 l/kg wet-wt).

Also the predicted value of log Kow = 1.88 by EPI Suite v.4.1 (see section 4.7 of this IUCLID dossier) is of no concern regarding bioaccumulation.

 

Transport and distribution

A low Koc for Methyl p-hydroxycinnamate is predicted also by KOCWIN v.2.00 (Koc = 208.9 MCI Method equivalent to log Koc = 2.448).

Column 2 of REACH Annexes VIII and IX provides the following exemptions: "The study does not need to be conducted if based on the physicochemical properties the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption (e.g. the substance has a low octanol water partition coefficient)"

Methyl p-hydroxycinnamate has got log Kow = 1.88 which can be considered of no concern.
