Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
log Koc 2.9 - > 10 (KOCWIN v2.00)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No studies investigating the adsorption/desorption behaviour of Sorbitan palmitate (CAS No. 26266-57-9) are available. Using KOCWIN Program (v2.00), log Koc values from 2.9 to 11.7 were calculated for the different constituents, based on molecular connectivity index (MCI), and 2.8 to 11.5 based on log Kow (Blum, 2012). These models have no universally accepted definition of model domain, but since the triester constituents are outside the Kow range of the training set for both models, the results for these constituents (log Koc 11.7 and 11.5) should be taken with caution. The definite values for the triesters may not be fully reliable, but indicate a high adsorption potential, which is also to be expected based on the high Kow (>10) and low water solubility. Additionally, the results for the monoesters, which are within the model domain, already indicate potential to adsorb (log Koc 2.9 and 2.8). It can be assumed that the larger constituents have even higher adsorption potential, since they contain more fatty acid chains. However, all definite values for Sorbitan esters should still be taken with caution, since the molecular structure indicates a potential of surface active properties, which may further increase the adsorption potential of the substances.
Based on this information, it can be concluded that the adsorption potential of Sorbitan palmitate to soil is high.
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.
