Description of key information

log Koc values of 4.480 (estimate from log Kow) and 4.048 (estimate with MCI method)
However, as the substance is readily biodegradable, it is concluded that the substance and its relevant degradation products decompose rapidly.
Therefore, adsorption/desorption is of no concern.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No studies are available for Fatty acids, C16 -18 and C18 -unsatd., Me esters, epoxidized (CAS-No. 158318-67-3) on adsorption/desorption. Using KOCWIN v2.00 with smiles notations, log Koc values of 4.480 (estimate from Kow method) and 4.048 (estimate with MCI method) were calculated, indicating a theoretical adsorption potential of the test substance. However, as the substance is readily biodegradable, it is concluded that the substance and its relevant degradation products decompose rapidly. Therefore, adsorption/desorption is of no concern.
