Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on results (HPLC method):
A Soil Adsorption Coefficient Koc of 38.47 L/kg is calculated from EPISUITE 4.00 (KOCWIN v2.00)

According to this institute's calculations, the Koc of hydroquinone is 38.47 L/kg.

Conclusions:
According to this institute's calculations, the Koc of hydroquinone is 38.47 L/kg. According to the scheme of Litz (1990) a very low to low soil sorption is to be expected.

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The soil adsorption coefficient was estimated from water solubility and log Pow, respectively.

The estimated Koc values were in the range of 9 to 50. These values indicate a very low to low sorption to organic matter in soil and sediment (according the scheme of Litz 1990). Therefore hydroquinone is expected to show high to very high mobility in soil and sediment (without taking into account potential ion-ion interactions).

Conclusions:
The estimated Koc values were in the range of 9 to 50. These values indicate a very low to low sorption to organic matter in soil and sediment (according the scheme of Litz 1990). Therefore hydroquinone is expected to show high to very high mobility in soil and sediment (without taking into account potential ion-ion interactions).

Description of key information

The estimated Koc values were in the range of 9 to 50. These values indicate a very low to low sorption to organic matter in soil and sediment (according the scheme of Litz 1990). Therefore hydroquinone is expected to show high to very high mobility in soil and sediment (without taking into account potential ion-ion interactions). For the CSA, the highest value representing the worst case situation for the soil has been selected.

Additional information

The estimated Koc values were in the range of 9 to 50. These values indicate a very low to low sorption to organic matter in soil and sediment (according the scheme of Litz 1990). Therefore hydroquinone is expected to show high to very high mobility in soil and sediment (without taking into account potential ion-ion interactions).
