Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

The pKa of each carbon of the registered substance (1,6 -dibromohexane) has been calculated, the value for the 6 carbons was estimated at 51.0.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The pKa of 1,6-dibromohexane of each carbon were estimated by calculation with the ACE acidity & basicity calculator software freely available. All pKa values were 51.0. It can be concluded that the substance will not dissociate and considered as an extremely weak acid where it will almost never give up H+.
