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 ready biodegradability of the test item 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-Hydroxy-, tris(C12-C13-branched-alkyl)ester was determined with a non-adapted activated sludge over a test period of 49 days in the Modified Sturm Test.

The test item 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-Hydroxy-, tris(C12-C13-branched-alkyl)ester is classified as not readily biodegradable, but inherently biodegradable (without pre-adaptation) and with the potential for complete mineralization.

The BCFBAF version 3.01 programme of the EPI Suite software (v 4.10) was used to predict either a log BCF of 0.5 (BCF of 3.16 L/kg) based on a regression estimate or a log BAF of - 0.05 (BAF of 0.893 L/kg) based on the Arnot-Gobas upper trophic model both using the smiles codes of tristridecyl 2 -hydroxypropane-1,2,3 -tricarboxylate and trisdodecyl 2 -hydroxypropane-1,2,3 -tricarboxylate representing the components of 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-Hydroxy-, tris(C12-C13-branched-alkyl)ester. Because the Arnot-Gobas upper trophic model takes also into account metabolism of the substance by the organism it is lower. The QSAR-data are supported by the results of the pharmacokinetics. 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-Hydroxy-, tris(C12-C13-branched-alkyl)ester will be hydrolysed, absorbed and efficiently metabolised into water soluble metabolites, which is supported by the molecular structure of 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-Hydroxy-, tris(C12-C13-branched-alkyl)ester and its physico-chemical properties.

It is concluded that 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-Hydroxy-, tris(C12-C13-branched-alkyl)ester will not accumulate in the body.
