EC number: 310-079-6 | CAS number: 102242-48-8 The complex residue resulting from the vacuum distillation of C6-24 and C6-24 unsatd. fatty alcohols which is derived from hydrogenation of C6-24 and C6-24 unsatd. fatty acids methyl esters. It consists predominantly of satd. and unsatd. fatty alcohols having carbon numbers greater than C18, dimerization products, and long chain esters having carbon numbers greater than C32 and boils at > 250°C (482°F) at 10 torr.

Description of key information
No simulation tests on the biodegradation in soil is available. However, the test substance is inherently biodegradable under enhanced condition. From this result it is clear that the substance is not persistant. As the substance is handled under strictly controlled conditions, exposure of soil is not to be expected, and therefore simulation tests are not considered to be necessary.
No simulation tests on the biodegradation in water and sediments are available. However, the test substance is inherently biodegradable under enhanced condition. From this result it is clear that the substance is not persistant. As the substance is handled under strictly controlled conditions, exposure of water and sediment is not to be expected, and therefore simulation tests are not considered to be necessary.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The test substance is considered to be readily biodegradable. In Annex IX of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that the study on soil simulation testing does not need to be conducted if the substance is 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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
