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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 310-083-8 | CAS number: 102242-52-4 The complex residue resulting from the distillation of C6-24 and C6-24 unsatd. fatty acids methyl esters which is derived from natural fats having a carbon range of C6-24. It consists predominantly of satd. and unsatd. fatty acids methyl esters having carbon numbers greater than C20, dimerization products, and wax esters and boils at > 200°C (392°F) at 10 torr.

- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Fatty acids, C6-24 and C6-24-unsatd., Me esters, distn. residues- Physical state: black , brown semisolid- Analytical purity:100% - Storage condition of test material: room temperature- Solubility: < 10% in water, soluble in acetone, hexane and dichloromethane
- Melting / freezing pt.:
- > 213 - < 298 K
- Decomposition:

- Sublimation:
- no
- Conclusions:
- The test item shows an area of melting temperatures (in the 1. and 2. heating run) between -60 °C and 25 °C (melting of crystalline parts) according to the definition in the OECD Guideline 102. The cooling run shows a crystallisation at 13 °C.
- Executive summary:
The melting temperature of the test item was determined in accordance with the test method OECD Guideline 102 "OECD Guideline For The Testing Of Chemicals, adopted by the Council on 27m July 1995, Melting Point/Melting Range" (similar to the test method A.1. "Melting/Freezing Temperature" as described in the Official Journal of the European Communities L383A).
