Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The substance Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., ethyl esters (CAS 85049-36-1) is readily biodegradable and poorly soluble in water (< 0.05 mg/L). Due to these characteristics, extensive elimination of the substance in conventional STPs can be expected. Therefore, only low concentrations, if any, are likely to be released into the water phase. Exposure of aquatic organisms like fish to substance is thus expected to be low. Furthermore, read across data on short-term toxicity available for all three trophic levels (fish, daphnia and algae) indicate a low potential for aquatic toxicity. Chronic effects of the substance are not expected based on a NOEL >1 mg/L obtained from read across studies on daphnia reproduction.
