Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One study investigating the abiotic degradation of Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers, mixed esters with oleic acid and trimethylolpropane (CAS No. 147256-33-5) via hydrolysis is available (Woznica, 2009). The study was conducted according to OECD 111 under the conditions of a preliminary test. An initial test substance concentration of 5 g/L was applied. The determined average recovery of 99 to 101% revealed that the substance is stable and not prone to hydrolysis over 5 days when employing pH values of 4, 7 and 9 at 50 °C. This indicates that hydrolysis is a negligible pathway for the fate of the test substance in the environment and according to OECD criteria, no additional testing is necessary. QSAR calculations (HYDROWIN v2.00) for the main components of the substance support this assumption (DT50 [pH 7] > 1 yr; Hopp, 2011). This result is in line with an assessment of substances as defined by the US-EPA “Aliphatic Polyol Ester Category” (US-EPA, 2010).
