Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Not relevant due to ready biodegradation

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental data evaluating the hydrolysis of Fatty acids, C12-16 (even numbered) and C18 unstd., methyl esters (CAS No. 1234694-02-0) are available. However, according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex VIII, Column 2, 9.2.2.1, a test on hydrolysis is not required since the substance is readily biodegradable. In addition, the results from the supporting QSAR calculated for the representative fatty acid components (C12, C16 and C18 unstd., HYDROWIN v2.00) indicate that hydrolysis is not a relevant degradation pathway in the environmental fate of this substance. The estimated half-lives (DT50 values) are 7.3 years (pH 7, for all components) and 266 days (pH 8, for all components; López Parrón 2011)).
