Description of key information
Additional information
The substance Alcohols, C16-18 (CAS# 67762-27-0) is from the category of Long Chain Alcohols (C6-22 primary aliphatic alcohols) . Alcohols, C16-18 do not present a hazard for the environment (acute aquatic toxicity >100 mg/l, or above water solubility with no effects exhibited)
For the longest chain category members (>C16) as Alcohols, C16-18: low solubility limits the dissolved (and hence bioavailable) concentration of the alcohol to the extent that neither acute nor chronic toxicity are likely to be exhibited; also significantly biodegradable (considered equivalent to inherent biodegradation; very extensive removal seen under environmentally relevant conditions) but more adsorbing than the lower homologues.
The substance is almost insoluble or slightly soluble and no effects are expected for Alcohols, C16-18 up to limit of aqueous solubility.
