Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The partition coefficient of 4,4'-Dithiodimorpholine (DTDM) was evaluated in a study performed in accordance with OECD testing guideline 117 and GLP requirements. The partition coefficient of DTDM was of 2.67 at 22°C and pH = 7.7.

Additional information

Octanol-Water partition coefficient of DTDM was estimated at 310 (+/- 150) during a study (Michael and Gledhil, 1978) performed according to a protocol similar to OECD 107 (shake flask method). Concerning pH and Temperature, no information is clearly given in the document, consequently we consider that the estimation is done for relevant natural environmental conditions (pH = 5 – 9 and temperature = 20°C). However no sufficient information is given in the report in order to assess concerning the validity of those experimental results.

So, the partition coefficient of DTDM was also assessed in a study (Gancet, 2010) performed in accordance with OECD testing guideline 117 and GLP requirements. The partition coefficient of DTDM was of 2.67 at 22°C and pH = 7.7. Validity criteria were fulfilled.

These values indicate that DTDM is characterized by a low potential of bioaccumulation and adsorption.
