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

Henry's Law constants for isophthalic acid were estimated using the HENRYWIN v3.20 QSAR model available from the US EPA. Estimated Henry's Law constants of 2.21E-7 and 3.93E-8 Pa m3/mole at 25 degrees C were obtained by the bond estimation and group estimation methods, respectively.

Additional information

After conversion to log10, the estimated Henry's Law constants (HLc) for isophthalic acid range from ca. -7 to -8. According to the tables presented in Appendix II of Part II of the Technical Guidance Document on Risk Assessment (European Commission, 2003), the threshold value of log10 HLc at which significant (=/>10%) air-stripping occurs under conditions of forced aeration during waste-water treatment is +1.0, and no air-stripping occurs at log10 HLc values =/<1.0. Both HLc estimates provided by HENRYWIN v3.20 indicate that isophthalic acid is unlikely to partition from aqueous systems to the atmosphere.
