Additional information

Abiotic degradation offatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsaturated, tetraesters with pentaerythritol (CAS 68604-44-4)is not a relevant pathway. The structure of the substance would indicate that photodegradation might play a role as rapid degradation process. However, indirect photodegradation in air is not a relevant route since the substance is not likely to be present in the atmosphere due to the low vapor pressure. Hydrolysis is expected to be low (DT50 > 1 yr) and thus not a relevant route for degradation as well.
