Additional information

No experimental data evaluating the hydrolysis of isooctadecanoic acid, mono- and diester with glycerol (CAS No. 97358-80-0) are available. However, according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex VIII, column 2, 9.2.2.1, testing for hydrolysis is not required since the substance is readily biodegradable. The results from the supporting QSAR calculations performed on representative fatty acid components (C18 mono- and diester) with HYDROWIN v2.00 indicate that indeed hydrolysis is not expected to be a relevant degradation pathway for this substance, with half-lives ranging from 2.6 to 7.7 years (pH 7) and 96 to 282 days (pH 8)(López Parrón, 2011).
