Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Sulfolane is expected to be highly mobile in water and shows low adsorption potential for soil.
Additional information
A QSAR prediction for sulfolane shows a low potential for adsorption with an estimated Koc of 3.37. Measured Koc values for sulfolane were slightly higher in the range 12.33 -176 but still do not suggest strong adsorption to soils (Saint Fort 2006). Saint Fort (2006) reports partition coefficients (Kd) for sulfolane in the range 0.3-1.23 at 8°C while Luther et al. (1998) reports Kd values for sulfolane of between 0.08 and 0.94 L/kg, with higher Kd values for clay soils rather than humus based soils. The reported Kd values also suggest that sulfolane will not adsorb to soils and this is consistent with its low Log Kow and reported high water solubility.
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.
