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.

Description of key information

The test substance, the ester reaction products of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid with C11-14 iso-alcohols, C13-rich, has a low potential to bioaccumulate in the environment based on its calculated BCF/ BAF values, its rapid inherent biodegradability in standard OECD 301 freshwater testing and its expected inherent biodegradation potential in sediment and soil (see Sections 4.1.2.1 to 4.1.2.4). The submission substance is not expected to be persistent.   


Conclusion: Potential for the ester reaction products of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid with C11-14 iso-alcohols, C13-rich, to bioaccumulate in the aquatic and terrestrial environment is expected to be low. This assessment is consistent with the OECD HPV Chemicals Programme that a structurally similar terephthalate, namely, di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (CAS No. 6422-86-2), poses a low bioaccumulative concern in the environment (see OECD SIAP 2003 for additional discussion and information).
