Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Study design

Test substance input data:
- Molar mass: 132.16
- Data temperature: 25°C
- Water solubility: 46 g/l
- Vapour pressure: 1.3 hPa
- log Pow: 0.38
- Melting point: -26°C
Environmental properties:
A fixed environmental temperature of 25 ºC is assumed.  Mass transport between the compartments via volatilization, diffusion, deposition and runoff are modelled.  

Results and discussion

Percent distribution in media

Air (%):
8.32
Water (%):
37.5
Soil (%):
54.1
Sediment (%):
0.07

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the modelled data it can be shown that the main parts of Polysolvan O are distributed in soil and water. Only a small part can be found in the air, whereas the distribution in the sediment is negligible.
