Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
All substances in the dimerized fatty acids category are derived from the dimerisation of typical, (unsaturated) fatty acids of the parent triglycerides. QSAR estimates can be made on the monomers with individual chain lengths.
A low volatilisation potential is expected due to estimated negligible vapour pressures (U.S. EPA HPV report, 2009).
Henry’s Law Constant (25°C) calculated based on HENRYWIN programme v3.20 (EPISUITE) is in the range 2.93-42.1 Pa m³/mol. Thus, a slow volatilisation of Isooctadecanoic acid from the water phase is expected.
The log Kow of the substance is judged to be >4. Thus, an adsorption to organic carbon in soils and sediments of Isooctadecanoic acid (CAS No 30399 -84 -9) is expected. Therefore, soil and sediment are expected to be the main compartments in regard to distribution based on the low water solubility and the high adsorption coefficient. Furthermore, no potential for volatilization is expected, so air is not a compartment of concern.
