Description of key information

Additional information

Abiotic degradation is not a relevant pathway in the environmental fate of docosanoic acid, ester with 1,2,3-propanetriol (CAS No. 77538-19-3). Since the substance is not likely to be present in the atmosphere based on its low vapour pressure (< 0.0001 Pa), significant photodegradation in air is not expected. Hydrolysis is not relevant since the substance is readily biodegradable, and is expected to be ultimately degraded through biodegradation in natural waters.
