Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 data set for the assessment of the biodegradability of Reaction products of lauric acid and oxybis(propanediol) includes QSAR calculations for the main components of the test substance and a standard biodegradation test for one read-across substance. Both the test with a UVCB substance of C16-C18 fatty acid mono- and diesters and the QSAR calculations of the main components of the test substance revealed ready biodegradability. Therefore, Reaction products of lauric acid and oxybis(propanediol) is also considered to be readily biodegradable.
This assumption is supported by results of the hazard assessment for aliphatic fatty acids in the OECD SIDS Aliphatic Acid Category (OECD, 2009) and the hazard assessment presented in the US-EPA HPV Aliphatic Diester Category (US-EPA, 2010). In these assessments fatty acids with a carbon length in the range of C8-C22 (OECD, 2009) and fatty acid diester (C4-C10) with a fatty alcohol chain length of C4-C13 (US-EPA, 2010) were judged to be 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).
