Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Determining a single log Kow for a multiconstituent substance like reaction mass of DIPE and 2-methylpent-2-ene was not possible. Based on an HPLC method, the log Kow was measured to be in the range 2.357 – 4.255 for the main components with an estimated overall range of 0 - 4.3 including hydrophilic impurities. The log Kow of DIPE (2.357) will be used as an intermediate value for the reaction mass for chemical safety assessment.

Additional information

Determining a single log Kow for a multiconstituent substance like reaction mass of DIPE and 2-methylpent-2-ene

was not possible. Based on an HPLC method, the log Kow was measured to be in the range 2.357 – 4.255 for the main components with an estimated overall range of 0 - 4.3 including hydrophilic impurities.

As an intermediate value, the log Kow measured for DIPE (2.357), which is one of the main constituents with ca. 40% of the substance is proposed.

Literature log Kow values of the main components of the reaction mass lie within a similar range as the experimentally determined values discussed above: estimated and measured values for DIPE: 1.52 - 2.4 (1, 2), estimated value for 2 -methyl-2 -pentene: 3.13 (3) thus confirming the validity of the measured data.
