Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The log Kocs of1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tris(C14-alkyl) ester and1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tris(C15 -alkyl) ester, representing 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tris(C14-15-alkyl) esters

were estimated with the program US EPA EPI Suite (v 4.10), program component KOCWIN (v 2.00). Using a correlation based on molecular connectivity index, the log Koc were determined to be 10.706 (Koc = 1E+010 L/kg), resp. 11.488 (Koc = 1E+010 L/kg). Using a correlation based on Kow, the log Koc was 10.344 (Koc = 2.21E+010 L/kg), resp. 11.163 (Koc = 1.455E+011 L/kg). The high Koc values indicate a distinct potential of

1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tris(C14-15-alkyl) esters

to accumulate in soil and sediment.

The McCall classification scheme classifies the substances as immobile in soil (Koc > 5000).

This result is supported with an adsorption/desorption study according to OECD 121 with the analogue substance tri(hexyl, octyl, decyl)citrate.

The test substance eluted as three evaluated components:

11.5% by peak area eluted at a shorter retention time than that of the void volume marker compound formamide, and the log Koc value cannot therefore be defined.

73.4% by peak area eluted at a retention time equivalent to a log Koc value of 5.5 (KOC = 316228), and within a 95% confidence area of 5.0 to 6.3.

15.1% by peak area eluted at a retention time equivalent to a log Koc value of 6.5 (KOC = 3162278), and within a 95% confidence area of 5.8 to 7.5.
