Substance within range (144.17 g/mol)

2) Maximum number of instances of bond in any of the training set compounds (On-Line HENRYWIN User’s Guide, Appendix D)

Not exceeded

3) Maximum number of instances of correction factor in any of the training set compounds (On-Line HENRYWIN User’s Guide, Appendix E)

Not exceeded

3.4

The uncertainty of the prediction
(OECD principle 4)

According to REACH Guidance Document R.7a, Appendix R.7.1-1 (Nov. 2012), measurement of HLC is not highly accurate, especially for very high or very low HLC values. The bond contribution method regarded by Altschuh et al. (1999) to produce the most reliable results with the exception of organochlorine pesticides. However, for some compounds, the method can yield a Henry's Law constant of 1.0x10-12atm*m3/mol or smaller. Numbers which are smaller than this value may be unrealistically low.

3.5

The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result
(OECD principle 5)

The compound is split into a summation of individual bonds which comprise the compound. The summation of these bonds (= bond contribution values) is set equal to LWPAC. Correction factors were developed to correct for polar interactions and other deviations from the regression curve, which are applied to members of some chemical classes.

Description of key information

For 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate the Henry's Law constant is calculated to be 8.02E-004 Pa·m³/mole based on the Bond method. Substances with a Henry's Law constant of < 100 Pa·m³/mole will not evaporate into the atmosphere from the water surface.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

QSAR-disclaimer:

In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met. 

According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided. 

For the assessment of 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (Q)SAR results were used for the Henry's law constant.The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.
