Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The calculated soil sorption coefficient Koc=4036 of m- and p-diisopropylbenzene indicates a strong sorption onto soil organic matter.
Executive summary:

The soil sorption coefficient Koc of diisopropylbenzene was calculated using EPIWIN v3.20, PCKOCWIN v1.66. The calculation yielded a value of 4036 (log Koc=3.606) indicating a strong sorption onto soil organic matter.

Conclusions:
The calculation of Koc based on molecular connectivity indexes yielded a value of 4000 and indicates that a strong sorption of diisopropylbenzene onto soil organic matter is to be expected.
Executive summary:

In the peer-reviewed data bank, a calculated soil sorption coefficient Koc=4000 is reported. The calculation is based on molecular connectivity indexes according to Sabljic A (1987) Environ Sci Technol 21, 358 -366. Based on the estimated Koc, a strong sorption of diisopropylbenzene onto soil organic matter is to be expected.

Description of key information

The soil sorption coefficient Koc of p-diisopropylbenzene was estimated by EC HPLC method to be logKoc = 3.8.

Calculation using EPIWIN v3.20, PCKOCWIN v1.66 yielded a value of 4036 (log Koc=3.606).The calculation of Koc based on molecular connectivity indexes yielded a value of 4000 and indicates that a  sorption of diisopropylbenzene onto soil organic matter is to be expected.
