Additional information

The bioaccumulation potential of Diisooctadecyl malate (CAS 67763-18-2) is expected to be very low.

Though the partition coefficient of the substance (log Pow > 10) indicates a potential to accumulate the bioavailability of the substance is expected to be low based on the low water solubility of the substance. Due to the rapid environmental biodegradation and metabolization of the substance via enzymatic hydrolysis a relevant uptake and bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms is not expected. Enzymatic breakdown will initially lead to the free malic acid and isostearyl alcohol. These hydrolysis products will be metabolised and excreted in fish effectively (Tocher, 2003). Furthermore bioconcentration and bioaccumulation factors (BCF/BAF) calculated for the single substance components indicate a low potential of the substance to accumulate in organisms.
Therefore, in accordance with Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 the bioaccumulation potential is considered to be low.
