Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Not relevant due to low vapour pressure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No studies investigating the indirect photolysis of Sorbitan, (Z)-9-octadecenoate (2:3) (CAS No. 8007-43-0) are available. Using AOP Program (v1.92), half-lives of 1.4 - 2.1 hours were calculated for the main constituents (Blum, 2012), indicating rapid degradation by indirect photolysis. However, this is not expected to be a relevant environmental fate process, since the substance is not expected to be present in the atmosphere based on the low estimated vapour pressure (< 0.0001 Pa at 20 °C). As this study is not a standard information requirement in REACH and there is no indication from the Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA) on the need to investigate further the fate and behaviour of the substance, no further testing is considered necessary.
