Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
There is no information on the biodegradability of ‘Glycerides, C16 -22'. However, considering that its composition is comparable to that of various types of vegetable oils, its biodegradability potential has been evaluated on the basis of available studies with vegetable oils with similar fatty acid chain distributions.
Similar substances having the carbon chain distribution in a similar range, such as fully hydrogenated coconut oil, castor oil and low erucic rapeseed oil were found to be readily biodegradable under conditions of the OECD guideline 301F, the repititive die away test and the CEC L-33 -A-934 methods.
The estimated biodegradation half life in soil was estimated to range from ca. 75 to 120 days.
In the environment,unbranched fatty acids and the corresponding triglycerides are well known to be easily broken down by a range of microorganisms such as gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, a number of fungi and yeasts as well as several types of algae,regardless of their functional groups and chain length.
Therefore, overall, the weight of evidence suggests that ‘Glycerides, C16 -22’ will 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).
