Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Stearoyl chloride and Stearic acid (pH <= 7): Adsorption to solid soil phase is expected.
Stearic acid (pH > 7): Adsorption to solid soil phase is not expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Due to its calculated log Koc of 4.1 to 4.8 (Koc = 12250 to 60740; BASF SE, 2009), adsorption of stearoyl chloride to soil and sediment is expected. However, stearoyl chloride is expected to hydrolyse rapidly and to form stearic acid.
The hydrolysis product stearic acid has a calculated log Koc of 4.1 to 4.7 (uncharged molecule; BASF SE, 2009). The pH-corrected values for the charged molecule show that with a log Koc of 3.74 at pH 7 adsorption to solid soil phase is expected (BASF SE, 2010). However, the hydrolysis product is readily biodegradable.
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.
