Description of key information
Additional information
The substance 1,2-Hexandiol is readily biodegradable. Thus, no further degradation tests (biotic or abiotic) are necessary. The substance is considered rapidly degradable in the environment. No persistence of the substance in the environment is expected.
The substance has a low volatility under environmental conditions (estimated Henry’s law constant: 0.0411 Pa· m3/mol). No information about the adsorption/desorption to soil is available, but as the substance has a low logKow (0.58 at 25°C) it is expected that the substance is mobile in soil.
Due to the low log Kow, bioaccumulation in aquatic or terrestrial species is not expected.
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.
