Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The main components DIPE and DSBE have a high Henry’s law constant at 20 °C: the measured value for DIPE is 173 Pa m³/mol or 0.0709 (dimensionless) [1]. The estimated value for DSBE is 500 – 1000 Pa m³/mol (Bond / Group Method) or 0.2 – 0.4 (dimensionless) using the HENRYWIN (v3.20) routine of Episuite [2]. According to the TGD IR & CSA R7a (2008, p.191), chemicals with H values around 100 Pa m³/mol are considered to volatilise rapidly.
TBA has a lower Henry’s law constant of 0.905 Pa m³/mol [3] and SBA a Henry’s law constant of 0.906 Pa m³/mol [4], similar to TBA. Both are expected to volatilise from surface water, but at a much slower rate.
