Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Stability
Due to indirect photodegradation released to the atmosphere dibenzylether is unstable with an estimated half-life of 18.26 h by the reaction with OH radicals. No high potential is given for long range transport.
Biodegradation
Since within 14 days 0 % biodegradation of the test item was observed, dibenzylether has to be considered as not readily biodegradable.
Bioaccumulation
Experimentally determined BCF-values were in the range of 171 - 429. The substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation.
Transport and distribution
Calculated logKoc-values were in the range of 2.65 - 2.91. Dibenzylether has a moderate sorption to soil and sediment, and a slow migration potential to groundwater.
The distribution in a "unit world" was calculated on the physico-chemical properties. The main target compartments for dibenzyl ether are water with 54.4 %, air with 27.8 %, soil with 8.8 % and sediment with 8.9%.
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.
