Additional information

Based on its physico-chemical properties such as low water solubility (< 0.15 mg/L), low volatilization potential (VP < 0.0001 Pa) and log Koc (> 5), sediment and soil are expected to be the main targets for environmental distribution of fatty acids, C8-10, tetraesters with pentaerythritol (CAS 85586-24-9). However, due to its ready biodegradability, the substance will not persist in these compartments.
