Description of key information

Additional information

The physico-chemical properties of Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., ethyl esters (CAS 85049-36-1) such as low water solubility (< 0.05 mg/L), low volatilization potential (VP 0.000173-0.00383 Pa) and high adsorption potential of the substance (log Koc >4.42; MCI), indicate that the substance may predominantly distribute to soil and sediment when released to the environment. However, the substance is not expected to accumulate and persist in these compartments due to its ready biodegradability.
