Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
The category members of the Long Chain Alcohol Esters are readily biodegradable. Therefore, hydrolysis is not considered as a relevant degradation pathwayin the fate of the substances. The adsorption potential of the Long Chain Alcohol Esters is high indicated by a log Koc of 7.02 – 10.03. Hence, soil and sediment are expected to be the main targets for environmental distribution. However, due to the ready biodegradability, the substances will not persist in these compartments. Evaporation from water into air is negligible due to the low vapour pressure of < 0.001 Pa. However, if emitted into the air the substances are susceptible to indirect photodegradation (DT50 < 24 h) andit is concluded that they will not accumulate in air and will not be transported through the vapour phase into other environmental compartments in relevant amounts. Thus, air is not a likely route of environmental contamination and no accumulation and subsequent deposition is to be expected.Furthermore, bioaccumulation of the Long Chain Alcohol Esters is not expected due to the acknowledged rapid metabolism and excretion.
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.
