Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 estimated Koc value is 4.06, as presented by the EPISuite™ QSAR/Property package, distributed by the US EPA.
Additional information
As no reliable experimental information on the adsorption/desorption characteristics of nitroguanidine is available, adsorption/desorption characteristics for nitroguanidine were derived based on non-experimental methods.
Nitroguanidine is a highly water-soluble, high nitrogen-containing organic substance. The aqueous solubility of nitroguanidine is > 3 g/L. It is also very hydrophilic, judging by its log octanol-water partition coefficient of -0.815. The estimated Koc value is 4.06, as presented by the EPISuite™ QSAR/Property package, distributed by the US EPA. The Koc value derived with EPISuite™, based on the Kow-model, can be considered reliable for both modelling and environmental fate assessments.
These values are in good agreement with experimental results from the literature (Haag et al., 1990). It can be concluded, that nitroguanidine does not adsorb strongly to soil (or sediment). Transport and distribution of the substance will be restricted to the water phase.
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.
