Description of key information
Additional information
Castor oil, oxidized is a UVCB substance which is extremely lipophylic and poorly water soluble.
From read-across to studies with blown rapeseed oil and blown linseed oil it can be concluded that the substance is readily biodegradable.
Due to the lipophylic nature and poor water solubility of the substance, the substance is expected to adsorb to organic matter in soil and sediment. Although the log Kow of blown castor oil is >7, the molecular weight of this substance is between 500 and 5000 g/mol.
Due to the complex character of this UVCB, no suitable analytical methods are available. Therefore further testing on stability (hydrolysis), biodegradation, bioaccumulation and adsorption/desorption is not technically feasible.
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.
