Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The substance ε-Caprolactone, oligomeric reaction products with propylidynetrimethanol can be considered stable at pH 4 and 7 (50 °C). At pH 9, 50 °C, the oligomer seemed to be completely hydrolysed within 5 days. Kinetic studies gave a half-life of about 16 h at the given conditions.
In a study conducted to OECD 301B, the substance was classified as readily biodegradable at a concentration of 33 mg/L (but not passing the 10 day window).
The logKow of the substance is reported to be 2.4 (see Section 4.7, partition coefficient). According to Column 2 of Annex IX of the REACH regulation, no study is required if the logKow is below the trigger of 3 as the substance can be expected to have a low potential for bioaccumulation.
Based on the Log Pow value (iOECD 117, 2.4), the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption. According to Column 2 of Annex VIII of the REACH regulation, no study is required if the logPow is below the trigger of 3 as the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption.
In accordance with REACH Annex IX column 2, the degradation simulation testing in water and/or sediment and in soil does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable.
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.
