Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
adsorption / desorption: screening
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, the adsorption/desorption screening test does not need to be conducted as the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption based on its intrinsic properties (log Kow <3). However, a Koc value is required for the sediment and soil PNEC derivations. Therefore, a QSAR value is proposed.
Justification for type of information:
QSAR prediction
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Validated QSAR.
Type of method:
other: QSAR

Executive summary:

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the adsorption/desorption test (required in § 9.3.1) does not need to be conducted as the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption. The substance has indeed a low octanol-water partition coefficient (log Pow = 2.86). However, a Koc value is required for the estimation of several PNECs. Therefore, Koc was estimated by a validated Q-SAR model using the molecular connectivity method (MCI) with the Kocwin 2.0 software. 2,2'-Isopropylidenebis(p-phenyleneoxy)diethanol has 2 ether aromatic and 2 aliphatic alcohol groups, which falls in the scope of the MCI model, as indicated in appendix D of the user manual of Kocwin 2.0. Koc=239.2 L/kg
