Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
One biodegradation study performed according to OECD 301B showed that Glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. mono- and di-, acetates (CAS No. 91052 -13 -0) is not readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria. The degradation via abiotic hydrolysis is not considered to be a relevant degradation pathway in the environment since QSAR results using SPARC v.4.6 and HYDROWIN v2.00 resulted in DT50 values > 1 yr at pH 7. Therefore, persistence of this substance in the environment cannot be excluded.
Evaporation into air and the transport through the atmospheric compartment is not expected since the substance is not volatile based on the low vapour pressure of <0.00045 Pa at 25 °C. However, if released into air, the substance is susceptible to indirect photodegradation by reaction with OH-radicals with a DT50 ranging from 15.9 h to 18 h (AOPWIN v1.92).
The adsorption potential of Glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. mono- and di-, acetates is high (log Koc range from 3.7 to 4.8, KOCWIN v2.00). Hence, soil and sediment are expected to be the main targets for environmental distribution.
The bioaccumulation potential of Glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. mono- and di-, acetates is expected to be low. Due to its log Koc value of > 3, significant adsorption of this substance to activated sludge in conventional STPs will take place and only low concentrations are expected to be released (if at all) into the environment. Once present in the aquatic compartment, the substance will be bioavailable to aquatic organisms partially via water and partially via feed and contact with suspended solids. Nevertheless, absorbed molecules of the substance will be metabolized. BCF/BAF values estimated by QSAR (BCFBAF v3.01) also support this assumption (BCF values 9.44-12.3 L/kg).
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.
