Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The Substance Eicosanoic acid is not persistent in air medium as the half life period of Eicosanoic acid in air is only 0.62days which does not exceeds the criteria of 2 days.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in air:
- 0.62 d
- Degradation rate constant with OH radicals:
- 0 cm³ molecule-1 s-1
Additional information
The atmospheric oxidation half-life of Eicosanoic acid was estimated using the level III multimedia model. It was estimated that the substance is not persistent in air medium as the half life period of Eicosanoic acid in air is 0.62 days. This indicates that Eicosanoic acid is easily phototransformed in air.
OVERALL OH Rate Constant = 0.000000000025 cm3/molecule-sec.
