Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No data was available for MHHPA. Instead a read across approach was used, assessing data of 4 MHHPA, as these substance was considered to show similar environmental fate properties.

 

Stability

Phototransformation in air: Half-life for reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals estimated to be 45.268 hours

 

Hydrolysis: Half life - at ph 4: 1.43 minutes at 20 deg C; 2.04 minutes at 30 deg C and 0.692 minutes at 50 deg C. at ph 7: 1.90 minutes at 20 deg C; 1.26 minutes at 30 deg C and 0.327 minutes at 50 deg C. at ph 9: 1.27 minutes at 20 deg C; 1.18 minutes at 30 deg C and 0.233 minutes at 50 deg C.

 

Biodegradation

Ready biodegradability in water: 2% in 28 days

 

Bioaccumulation

The potential for bioaccumulation of the substance is low - estimated BCF 11.12 L/kg ww.

 

Transport and distribution

Koc has been calculated using the computer program KOCWIN (v.2.00). It is predicted that the substance has a Koc of 41.94 L/kg, supporting the premise that the substance is likely to be highly mobile in soil and sediment.

 

The Henry's Law constant of 2.90 Pa-m3/mole indicates that the substance is not significantly volatile from surface water.

 

Distribution in environmental compartments has been calculated using a Fugacity model according to Mackay, Level III. Distribution in various environmental compartments is estimated as: Air - 4.79%; Water - 39.1%; Soil - 56% and Sediment - 0.088%. However, the substance is known to be unstable, rapidly hydrolysing to the corresponding di-carboxylic acid in aqueous media and this process is expected to occur in the environment should release occur. As a result the calculated distribution may not be a reasonable estimate. Similar modelling of the degradation product of the substance, 4 -methyl-1,2 -cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, estimated distribution in the various environmental compartments as: Air - 0.0000228%; Water - 19.9%; Soil - 80% and Sediment - 0.117%. Refinement of the modelling, undertaken as part of the CSA, and taking account of the uses of the substance, does not support these estimates.
