Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Aquatic bioaccumulation

Reaction mass of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, 4,6-di-tert-butyl-o-cresol and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenolis a solid substance, which is not soluble in water. It has some potential to absorb to soil and sediment particles.

Generally, a BCF/BAF in fish of ≥ 500 is indicative of the potential to bioconcentrate for classification purposes in accordance with CLP/GHS criteria.

The BCF/BAF values estimated forReaction mass of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, 4,6-di-tert-butyl-o-cresol and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenolare above the cut-off values for bioaccumulation indicating some potential to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms.

 

Terrestrial bioaccumulation

Reaction mass of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, 4,6-di-tert-butyl-o-cresol and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenolis a solid substance, which is not soluble in water. It has some potential to absorb to soil and sediment particles.

 

Taking into account thatReaction mass of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, 4,6-di-tert-butyl-o-cresol and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenolis for use in closed industrial systems and will not be released widely into the environment, it is considered that terrestrial bioaccumulation is of low concern for this substance.
