Description of key information

Additional information

Based on read-across data from reliable studies with the source chemical Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, the target chemical Bis(2-propylheptyl) hexanedioate is regarded to be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes, after evaporation or exposure to the air. This conclusion is supported by results from different QSAR calculations for the test substance using EPIWIN. As the target chemical Bis(2-propylheptyl) hexanedioate is regarded as readily biodegradable, hydrolysis as well as phototransformation in water and sediment are not considered to relevantly contribute to the environmental fate of the test substance.
