Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 test substance is a solid with very low vapour pressure, very high solubility and negative log Kow. Basic Blue 140 does not present hydrolysable groups in any of the constituents or by-products and impurities.

Based on the physicochemical properties the substance is expected to have a low potential for adsorption; it is characterized by a negative octanol-water partition coefficient, due to the high capability to dissolve in water phase. Despite a partial binding onto the surface of suspended particles and onto sediments cannot be completely excluded, this is unlikely to occur in the usual conditions of use, where the substance is eliminated by sludge in the STP. Due to the current use of the substance in industrial frameworks where waste water treatments are applied, significant release into surface waters is not expected and exposure of sediment is thereby unlikely.

Atmospheric compartment is expected to be neglectable.
