Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hazard assessment conclusion:
no potential for bioaccumulation

Additional information

The test item will not bioaccumulate due to its physico-chemical properties (Log kow > 10.0). Furthermore, the substance is expected to be readily biodegradable, so no chronic exposure of aquatic organisms is predicted. Should the substance be taken up by fish, fatty acid esters are metabolised into fatty acids and alcohols, and a QSAR calculation (BCFBAF v3.00) confirms the low bioaccumulation potential.

Conclusion on classification

Based on results from analogues, the registered substance is expected to be readily biodegradable. This means that the substance is highly unlikely to fulfil the criteria for classification as an acute or chronic aquatic hazard under the terms of Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
