Description of key information

Additional information

Based on its physico-chemical properties such as low water solubility (< 0.15 mg/L at 20 °C), low volatilisation potential (vapour pressure: < 0.001 Pa at 20 °C) and high log Koc (> 5), sediment and soil are expected to be the main targets for environmental distribution of Tetraesters of pentaerythritol with 2-ethylhexanoic acid, heptanoic acid and nonanoic acid (EC 806-879-4). However, due to its ready biodegradability, the substance will not persist in these compartments.
