Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Fatty acids, tall-oil, C12-15-alkyl esters, sulfated, sodium salts used as a wetting agent may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to soil, the expected mobility of the substance is very low based on an estimated Log Koc (6.64). If released to water, the substance will be essentially non volatile based on estimated vapour pressure of 10^-14 Pa. It has aqueous base-catalyzed hydrolysis estimated half-lives of 2 years at pH of 8 and 20,5 years at pH of 7. Aquatic bioconcentration is not expected to be an important fate process because of biodegradability, although adsorption to sediment may be possible. The substance is in fact inherently biodegradable. If released to the atmosphere, it will exist primarily in the particulate phase. In the vapour phase, it will degrade in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of 1.38 hrs. Physical removal from air can occur through wet and dry deposition.
