Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Hydrolysis does not need to be investigated since methyl (S)-lactate is assessed to be readily biodegradable.
Biodegradation
Methyl (S)-lactate is assessed as readily biodegradable. Further degradation tests (in surface water, sediment, or soil) do not need to be conducted.
Bioaccumulation
Based on (bio)degradability, aqueous solubility and log Kow, methyl (S)-lactate will not bioconcentrate.
Transport and distribution
Adsorption/desorption: The calculated KOC from the molecular connectivity index is 1 L/kg.
Moreover, methyl (S)-lactate is readily biodegradable. Therefore, the test substance is considered to have low potential for absorption and no further testing is required.
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.
