Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Since Isodecyl methacrylate is readily biodegradable (failing 10-day window), an indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge transfer is unlikely. In addition, direct releases to soil from point sources are not known and very unlikely due to the low vapour pressure of the substance. Therefore, significant exposure of terrestrial compartments is not expected. Diffuse releases into the environment from residual Isodecyl methacrylate monomer in the polymeric products are not of concern due to the low vapour pressure.
The ester is metabolised via cleavage of the ester bond, the resulting moieties are substrates for the fatty acid metabolism and for the valine pathway of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, respectively. These are pivotal metabolic pathways of all organisms, and therefore, biomagnification in the food chain and, in consequence, secondary poisoning are not expected.
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.
