Description of key information
Additional information
According to Annex VIII Column 2 of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006), information on hydrolysis is not required for biodegradable substances.
Regarding phototransformation/photolysis, zinc dilaurate is produced from natural fatty materials, i.e. lauric (C12) acid, and consists of approximately 86% natural fatty acids and 14% zinc. Fatty acids biodegrade readily according to the β-oxidation pathway including three major steps (activation in the cytosol, transport into mitochondria, β-oxidation until the entire chain is cleaved into acetyl CoA units). Thus, stable degradation products are not being formed in the environment. Furthermore, breaking down by photons is not expected to be relevant for zinc dilaurate under typical environmental conditions.
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.
