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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 310-079-6 | CAS number: 102242-48-8 The complex residue resulting from the vacuum distillation of C6-24 and C6-24 unsatd. fatty alcohols which is derived from hydrogenation of C6-24 and C6-24 unsatd. fatty acids methyl esters. It consists predominantly of satd. and unsatd. fatty alcohols having carbon numbers greater than C18, dimerization products, and long chain esters having carbon numbers greater than C32 and boils at > 250°C (482°F) at 10 torr.

Description of key information
Inherently biodegradable fulfilling specific criteria according to OECD criteria.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable, fulfilling specific criteria
Additional information
In a prolongated OECD 301 B study, the test item Alcohols C 6 - C24 and C 6 - C24 unsat. Distn. Residues was found to be not readily biodegradable 50 % at day 28, however with 60 % mineralization at day 61 the results of the enhanced (prolonged) test are regarded as evidence of inherent biodegradability. Therefore, the substance is not persistance.
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.
