Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information
Additional information
According to the molecular structure of the test substance, it is similar to esters of the adipate category and is expected to hydrolyze into 2 molecules of alcohol and a molecule of glutaric acid. Glutaric acid is not expected to further hydrolyze because of the absence of hydrolysable groups. The ester is estimated to be slowly hydrolized at near neutral pH, and this is also confirmed by the predicted half-life of the similar adipate category members, which is very high (years).
Despite the high stability in the environment, the test substance is estimated to be readily biodegradable.
Based on the predicted and measured log KOW and KOC values for the test substance and similar adipate esters, these substances are expected to have a quite low mobility in sediments and soil.
According to available vapour pressure data, category members are not expected to volatilize into the atmosphere.
Experimental and predicted values indicate that bioaccumulation potential of the test substance and adipate category member is low. Moreover, toxicokinetics evidence indicates that, once absorbed, similar diesters of adipic acid are expected to be readily metabolised and excreted.
Also hydrolysis products of the test substance and members of the adipate category are expected to have a low bioaccumulation potential, due to the fact that adipic and glutaric acid are expected to be readily metabolized by living organisms and alcohols representing the side chains of these category members are expected to have a similar behaviour once absorbed.
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.
