Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

"very high" potential for geoaccumulation (Blume scale)

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The QSAR calculated adsorption coefficient of isophorone diisocyanate is Koc = 36,450; log Koc = 4.562, corresponding to "very high" geoaccumulation potential. However, due to hydrolysis this theoretical geoaccumulation potential has no practical relevance.
Executive summary:

The QSAR calculated adsorption coefficient of isophorone diisocyanate is Koc = 36,450; log Koc = 4.562, corresponding to "very high" geoaccumulation potential. However, due to hydrolysis this theoretical geoaccumulation potential has no practical relevance.

Endpoint:
adsorption / desorption: screening
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the physicochemical properties of the substance indicate that it can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption

Description of key information

According to REACH Annex VII, 9.3.1, column 2 the adsorption/desorption study does not need to be conducted as the substance and its relevant degradation products decompose rapidly. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Upon contact with water the diisocyanate groups of isophorone diisocyanate react by forming amines and CO2.

Under the test conditions required for covering this endpoint, the primary degradation product (isophorone diamine) will react further. Therefore, its adsorption / desorption cannot be measured. Quantifying the adsorption / desorption of the resulting polymer is technically not feasible because of its inhomogeneous composition, its low mobility inhibiting equilibration, and analytical limitations.

For the primary degradation product isophorone diamine the adsorption coefficient was corrected for dissociation and calculated to be Koc= 928, logKoc= 2.97 (pH 7) (QSAR, Franco and Trapp,2008).
