Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolysis is not relevant in regard to abiotic degradation in the environment (DT50 > 1 yr)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental studies investigating the abiotic hydrolysis of Mixed esters of fatty acid C16 and C16-18-unsatd., with adipic acid and pentaerythritol. However, in accordance with Annex VIII, column 2 (9.2.2.1) of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, testing for hydrolysis as a function of pH is not required as the substance is readily biodegradable. In addition, supporting QSAR calculations (HYDROWIN v2.00) for the main components of the substance indicate, that hydrolysis represents a negligible pathway for the fate of the substance in the environment (DT50 (pH 7) > 1 yr; Hopp, 2011).
