Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 log Koc for main lanolin alcohols was estimated by WSKOW (v1.41); Estimation Programs Interface Suite™ for Microsoft® Windows, v 4.00. United States Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, USA.
The estimated values for cholesterol, Lanosterol, Dihhydrolanosterol and 1 -Hexadecanol were:
Cholestrol: Log Koc = 6.19; Lanosterol: Log Koc = 6.78; 1 -Hexadecanol: Log Koc = 3.67; Dihydrolanosterol: Log Koc = 6.53
This is an indication that the lanolin alcohols are likely to adhere to soil particles in the environment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Adsorption/ desorption was the only endpoint assessed at this level as regards transport and distribution.
The log Koc values for the main components of the lanolin alcohols was estimated by WSKOW (v1.41); Estimation Programs Interface Suite™ for Microsoft® Windows, v 4.00. United States Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, USA.
