Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Biodegradability:
Two Klimisch-1-rated studies were carried out on ready biodegradability, i.e. a CO2 evolution test (1996) and a manometric respirometry test. Whereas in the CO2 evolution the test substance did not reach the 60% degradability criterion, the study with the manometric respirometer revealed a degree of degradability of 94%, thus the substance clearly was readily biodegradable under the conditions of this study. Since the manometric respirometry test was considered to have delivered data of higher validity and reliability, undecylenic acid is considered readily biodegradable.
Adsorption/desorption:
Under the conditions of the available study (HPLC method – OECD Test Guideline 121), the adsorption coefficient was found to be log Koc = 2.84 (Koc 691.83). Therefore, the adsorption potential of the test item is considered low.
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.
