Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The results of published studies confirm the oxidative metabolism of octanal to octanoic acid and acetoacetate.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Bioaccumulation potential:
no bioaccumulation potential
Absorption rate - oral (%):
50
Absorption rate - dermal (%):
50
Absorption rate - inhalation (%):
100

Additional information

The results of published studies confirm the oxidative metabolism of octanal to octanoic acid and acetoacetate. In the absence of experiemental data, default values for oral absorption (50%), dermal absorption (50%) and inhalation absorption (100%) are assumed. Based on the physicochemical properties and metabolsim, octanal is considered unlikely to bioaccumulate.
