Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolysis is not relevant due to ready biodegradation.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental studies investigating the abiotic hydrolysis of 2-octyldodecyl isooctadecanoate (CAS 93803-87-3) are available. However, in accordance with Annex VIII, column 2, 9.2.2.1. of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, testing is not required since the substance is readily biodegradable. In addition, a supporting QSAR calculation (HYDROWIN v2.00) indicates, that hydrolysis is a negligible pathway for the environmental fate of the test substance in the environment (DT50 > 1 yr (pH 7); Müller, 2011). An available expert statement also confirmed that that experimental hydrolysis testing is not possible due to the very low water solubility of the test substance and the lack of suitable analytical methods (Berkelmans, 1998).
