Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Data on the biodegradability of isobutyl laurate (CAS 37811-72-6) are available for seawater. The test conducted with natural seawater indicated that the substance has the potential for primary biodegradation in the marine environment. The potential for degradation is lower in seawater compared to freshwater degradation tests (Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.7b; ECHA, 2016). To assess the ready biodegradability of the substance additional read-across data regarding ready biodegradability was gathered for the evaluation. Ready biodegradability was demonstrated for the structural analogue substances isopentyl laurate (CAS 6309-51-9) and isopropyl laurate (CAS 10233-13-3). Based on the gathered information isobutyl laurate (CAS 37811-72-6) is considered readily biodegradable.
Due to the ready biodegradability in water rapid degradation of the substance in aquatic and terrestrial environments is expected.
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.
