Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Half time for indirect photodegradation: 37.9 h (24h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm3)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in air:
- 37.9 h
Additional information
Methylcyclohexane (CAS No. 108 -87 -2) has the potential to volatilize to air, based on a relatively high vapor pressure, where it is subject to atmospheric oxidation. Based on a QSAR calculation for methylcyclohexane using AOPWIN v1.92, the substance is susceptible to indirect photodegradation in air. The estimated half time for the reaction with OH-radicals is 37.9 hours (24 h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm3). Therefore, indirect photodegradation may be an important environmental fate process for this substance.
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.
