Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Log Koc (MCI) = 4.7 
Log Koc (log Kow) = 5.5

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental data evaluating the adsorption potential of octadecanoic acid, methyl ester (CAS No. 112-61-8) are available. Therefore, QSAR estimations using the KOCWIN v2.00 program (EPISuiteTM) have been performed instead, resulting in log Koc values ranging from 4.7 (MCI method) to 5.5 (log Kow regression method). These values indicate octadecanoic acid, methyl ester shows high potential for adsorption to soil and sediment particles.
