Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Stability

After evaporation or exposure to the air, the test substance will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes. The test substance hydrolyses slowly upon contact with water.

Biodegradation

The test substance is readily biodegradable in water according to OECD criteria. Biodegradation in soil and sediment was not provided due to the outcome of the biodegradation in water.

Bioaccumulation

Due to the low water solubility (WS = 0.5 mg/L; s. analytical results of the studies shown in IUCLID section 4.8) of 2-propylheptyl acrylate, it is expected that under environmental conditions only small amounts of the test substance are dissolved in water. Based on these low concentrations of dissolved test substance combined with the photolytical instability (IUCLID section 5.1.1) and the fast biodegradability (IUCLID section 5.2.1) of 2-propylheptyl acrylate it is assumed that the amount of bioavailable test substance in water is negligible low.

Transport and distribution

The adsorption coefficient and Henry's Law constant can be calculated by validated Q(SAR) such as EPI Suite v4.00. Based on an estimated log Koc of 3.1, adsorption to solid soil phase is expected. Henry's Law Constant was calculated to be 120 Pa*m3/mol indicating rapid evaporation of the substance from the water surface into the atmosphere.
