Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Stability
No information is available on the hydrolysis of hexadecyl 3,5-bis-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate. Since the substance is highly insoluble (< 10E-6 g/l at 20°C) the study is technically not feasible.
Biodegradation
The substance is not readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions ( Mitsubishi Chemical Safety Institute, 1995). The aerobic transformation of [14C]hexadecyl 3,5-bis-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate in soil was studied in a GLP compliant study according to OECD 307 (Smithers Viscient, 2018). The rate and route of the transformation was studied in one representative soil, a sandy loam. [14C]hexadecyl 3,5-bis-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate degraded at a moderate rate over the incubation period under the conditions of this aerobic soil study, with a DT50 value of 117 days. No transformation products, except for 14CO2, have been identified during the study.
Bioaccumulation
One experimental study is available indicating a low potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms. BCF values of 15 and 36 were obtained in Cyprinus carpio after 60 d (Yakata, 2001). The substance does not fulfil the bioaccumulation trigger value of BCF > 2000 L/kg as given in ECHA Guidance, Chapter R.11, and does not fulfil the B- or vB-criterion.
Transport and distribution
In an OECD 121 test the measured Log Koc for hexadecyl 3,5 -bis-tert-butyl-4 -hydroxybenzoate was >5.63 (Koc >4.27E5).
Additional information
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.
