Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
No determination was possible by Method 111 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals due to the negligible solubility of soybean oil, epoxidised in water, 1.36 x 10-3 g/L of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C. Secondly and more critically, the test material found in solution during the water solubility study represented only the lower molecular weight range of the test material components. Therefore working at half this water solubility value, the maximum concentration permitted by the method guideline, was not applicable since the value does not address the more abundant, higher molecular weight fraction of the test material.
Read across to a study result from an investigation using a similar material is justified for members of the Epoxidised Oils and Derivatives group. Four epoxidised oils (linseed, soybean, 2-ethylhexyl tallate and fatty acids, C14-C22, 2-ethylhexylesters) have been identified as sharing common structural and functional similarities, recognised in an OECD SIDS review as a single category, and therefore justifying read-across between data for different members of the group. Consequently data sharing between ESBO epoxidised soybean oil and epoxidised linseed oil is commonly utilised in the preparation of this dossier and other read-across bridges are used for other members of the EOD group where appropriate.
According to REACH guidelines a Stability study is not required as Soybean Oil, epoxidised is considered to be readily biodegradable ( Schulthess A.V., 1988).
Additional information
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.
