Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
In water, Fatty acids, essential, Et esters is highly insoluble and hydrolytically stable (half life >1 year). Based on the physico-chemical properties (such as low water solubility) and high adsorption potential, sediment and soil are expected to be the main targets for environmental distribution. However, due to the ready biodegradability, the substance will not persist in these compartments. The low vapour pressure and low water solubility, suggests little evaporation into air, however if emitted into air Fatty acids, essential, Et esters is susceptible to indirect photodegradation (DT50 < 24hr, SRC AOP v1.92). Bioaccumulation is not expected due to the acknowledged rapid metabolisation and excretion of linear aliphatic fatty acid esters from fish and the omnipresence of the responsible enzyme, carboxylesterase, on many organism levels.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
