Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on physico-chemical properties, the main target compartments for the environmental distribution ofFatty acids, C14-18 and C18-unsatd., branched and linear, esters with neopentyl glycol (CAS No. 85005-25-0)would be soil and sediment. However, as the substance is readily biodegradable and highly sorptive (log Koc > 5), it is expected to be eliminated in sewage treatment plants to a high extent. Release to surface waters, and thereby exposure of sediment, is therefore very unlikely. The substance is expected to be rapidly removed from the environment via biodegradation in all compartments.
