Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
accepted calculation method
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Calculated usind KOWIN v2.00 of EPI-Suite software as well as according to Sabljic (1995) and Gerstl (1990).
The calculation using KOWIN program is based upon the molecule structure using the molecular connectivity method.
The calculation according to Sabljic (1995, QASR Modelling of Soil Sorption. Improvements and Systematics of logKoc vs. logKow Correlations. Chemosphere, Vol. 31, pp. 4498-4514) is based on a statistical relationships between Koc and the octanol/water partition coefficient.
The calculation according to Gerstl (1990, Estimation of Organic Chemical Sorption by Soils, Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, 6, pp. 357-375) is based on a statistical relationships between Koc and the octanol/water partition coefficient.

Conclusions:
The calculated log Koc-values of 3.72, 3.75 and 5.75 indicate a high sorption potential to soil and sediment and suggests a slow migration potential to ground water.
Executive summary:

The calculated log Koc-values of 3.72 (Gerstl 1990), 3.75 (Sabljic 1995), and 5.75 (EPIWIN) indicate a high sorption potential to soil and sediment and suggests a slow migration potential to ground water (Currenta, 2010). The lowest log Koc of 3.72 is used for further assessment as a worst case assumption.

Description of key information

The calculated log Koc-values of 3.72 (Gerstl 1990), 3.75 (Sabljic 1995), and 5.75 (EPIWIN) indicate a high sorption potential to soil and sediment and suggests a slow migration potential to ground water (Currenta, 2010). The lowest log Koc of 3.72 is used for further assessment as a worst case assumption.
The log Koc of the potential metabolites of MBTS, such as MBT, BT, and MeSBT, are mostly higher than 3 indicating moderate to strong potential for soil and sediment adsorption as the same as MBTS. Only BTon (estimated log Koc of 1.93) has very low adsorption potential.
