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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 205-571-1 | CAS number: 142-91-6
Categories
- Category name:
- Fatty Acid SCAE Ethyl-, Isopropyl-, Butyl- and 2-Ethylhexyl-Esters (SCAE C2-C8)
Justifications and discussions
- Category definition:
- Short chain fatty acid esters with ethanol, butanol, and 2-ethylhexanol
- Category description:
- Category contains ethyl, isopropyl, butyl and 2-ethylhexyl esters. The number of carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains (all even-numbered) ranges from C8-C22. The total number of carbon atoms ranges from 15 to 26.
- Category rationale:
- The category comprises of ethyl, iso-propyl, butyl and 2-ethylhexyl esters, hence the alcohol moiety contains 2-8 carbon atoms. Altogether, the total number of carbon atoms varies between 15 (isopropyl dodecanoate, CAS No. 10233-13-3) and 26 (ethylhexyl octadecenoate, CAS No. 26399-02-0; this substance or its hydrogenated analogue ethylhexyl octadecanoate are also present in three UVCB chemicals: CAS No. 135800-37-2, 91031-48-0 and 85049-37-2). All category members contain only even numbered fatty acid chains, from C8 to C22. In each of 4 subclasses, physico-chemical data aligns in trends with respect to the number of carbon atoms in acid moiety; there are also observed general trends related to the total number of carbon atoms.
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.
