Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
- BCF (aquatic species):
- 603 L/kg ww
Additional information
The BCF (aquatic sediment) of 2-hexyldecanol is predicted to be 603 and 620 using the regression-based and Arnot-Gobas upper trophic approach, respectively, using a calculated log KOW of 6.66 (BCFBAF, EPI Suite). The major difference is that the Arnot-Gobas method takes into account metabolism of the substance by the organism.For a readily metabolized substance, this limits how much the body can concentrate. In the regression-based estimate approach, biotransformation is not taken into account.
The associated biomagnification factors (BMF) for both BCF is 1. The additional molecular size modelling provides evidence to predict that BCF estimates should be lower than anticipated as the expected cross-sectional diameter of 2-hexyldecanol molecule exceeds 9.5 Å, above which threshold bioconcentration has been shown to decrease rapidly.
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.
