Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Determined in 3 sandy soils the Koc of Mecoprop-P acid (MCPP-P acid), the hydrolysis product of Mecoprop-P n-octyl ester, was in the range of 135 - 167. The lowest Koc of 135 is used for further assessment as a worst case assumption. Mecoprop-P acid (MCPP-P acid) has a low sorption potential to soil and sediment, and a moderate migration potential to groundwater.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
135

Additional information

The adsorption coefficient of Mecoprop-P n-octyl ester was measured using the HPLC method (log Koc 5.3 at 25°C).

However, Mecoprop-P n-octyl ester hydrolyses rapidly in natural water. Therefore, the hydrolysis product Mecoprop-P acid (MCPP-P acid) was used for further risk assessment of Mecoprop-P n-octyl ester in the environment.
