Description of key information
Additional information
Bis(ethylhexyl) maleate is readily biodegradable under the conditions of the respective test, but fails the 10-day window criterion and ending up in a degradation rate of about 70% after 28 days. According to Level III Mackay Fugacity Model, soil is the main environmental compartment where bis(ethylhexyl) maleate is distributed. Based on a Koc value of 153400 L/kg it can be assumed that it is highly adsorbed onto soil particles.
About 23% of the substance reaches the water phase. Here, also a strong potential for adsorption to suspended matter and sediment is given, but modelling data indicate that only a small amount of about 2.5% reaches the sediment. The potential to bioaccumulate in the biotic environment is high.
The Henry's law constant of 4.16 Pa*m³/mol shows that the potential of bis(2ethylhexyl)maleinate to volatilise from the water surface is low, which is confirmed by the modelling data which show that only 2% will reach the air. An adsorption to airborne particles based on the Koc value cannot be excluded. This would indicate a potential for long-range transport, but its atmospheric half-life of 1.1 days is relatively short. Based on this, long-range transport of the substance as defined in the Stockholm convention for Persistent Organic Pollutant (POPs) is not expected.
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.
