Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Based on its physico-chemical properties such as low water solubility (< 2.4 µg/L at 20 °C, pH 6.3; OECD 105, column elution method), low volatilization potential (vapour pressure <1.0E-04 Pa at 20 °C, SPARC v4.6) and a high log Koc (5.2567; MCI method, KOCWIN v2.00), sediment and soil are expected to be the main compartments for environmental distribution of Neopentyl glycol dicaprate (CAS No. 27841-06-1).According to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7b (ECHA, 2017) once poorly soluble chemicals enter a standard sewage treatment plant, these substances are expected to be removed from the water column to a significant degree by adsorption to sewage sludge. Therefore the release to surface waters, and thereby exposure of sediment and soil, is considered as marginally.
