Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 individual chain lengths of the monomers.
A low volatilisation potential is expected due to estimated negligible vapour pressures (U.S. EPA HPV report (2009).
The log Koc of the substance is judged to be 4 < log Koc 5. Thus, an adsorption to organic carbon in soils and sediments of Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., branched and linear (CAS No 68955 -98 -6) is expected. Therefore, soil and sediment are expected to be the main compartments in regard to distribution based on the low water solubility and high adsorption coefficient. Furthermore, no potential for volatilization is expected so air is not a compartment of concern.
