Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Adsorption / desorption
The adsorption coefficient (Koc) on soil and on sewage sludge using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been estimated for a phthalate ester with C-11 chain length. Adsorption coefficients were estimated to be log Koc soil = 21.41 and log Koc sewage sludge = 23.21.
The adsorption coefficient (Koc) on soil and on sewage sludge using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has also been determined for a phthalate ester with C-6 to C-10 chain length. Adsorption coefficients were estimated to be log Koc soil = 5.55-10.37 and log Koc sewage sludge = 6.29-12.09.
In addition the adsorption coefficient (Koc) of the substance, a phthalate ester with chain length of C9 to C-11, has been estimated using calculation methods to yield a log Koc of 6.397. This value is lower than that obtained experimentally on two analogous substances and is likely to be an under-estimate.
In all cases, the McCall classification scheme classifies the substances as immobile in soil (Koc > 5000).
Henry's Law constant
The Henry's Law constant of 4.88 Pa-m3/mole indicates that the substance is moderately volatile from surface water.
Distribution modelling
Distribution in environmental compartments has been calculated using a Fugacity model according to Mackay, Level III. Distribution in various environmental compartments is estimated as: Air - 0.43%; Water - 3.5%; Soil - 27.2% and Sediment - 68.8%.
Sediment and soil were then found to be the major target compartments.
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.
