Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Henry's law constant (H) (in Pa m³/mol):
- 33
- at the temperature of:
- 12 °C
Additional information
The Henry's Law constant (H) is calculated as 69.8 Pa m3/mol (log H = 1.84), based on a vapour pressure of 33 kPa at 25 °C and a water solubility of 42,000 mg/l at 25 °C in EUSES.
The Henry's Law constant (H) is calculated as 59.8 Pa m3/mol (log H = 1.78), based on a vapour pressure of 270 hPa at 20 °C and a water solubility of 42,000 mg/l at 20 °C (Howard, 1990). The calculated H value indicates that MTBE has the potential to volatise rapidly from water to air. Additional calculated values are also available, 43.8 Pa m3/mol (log H = 1.64) at 20°C and 53.5 Pa m3/mol (log H = 1.73) at 25 °C (Robbins et al., 1993) and 55.3 Pa m³/mol at 20 °C (Finnish Environment Institute, 1999).
The value of 69.8 Pa m3/mol at 25 °C corresponds to 33.3 Pa m3/mol at environmental temperature; the latter will be used in the assessment.
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.
