Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No potential for adsorption

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Koc at 20 °C:
178

Additional information

Methyl benzoate has a low adsorption potential due to its low log Kow < 3 and additional testing is not necessary. The available experimental data from batch equilibrium studies with three soils yielded a maximum Koc of 178 in Podsol. Comparative studies by the HPLC method gave similar Koc values. The maximum value of Koc = 178 obtained in the batch equilibrium study (Von Oepen et al. 1991) is used further in the environmental exposure and risk assessment.
