Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Henry’s Law constants of the main components of Fatty acids, C8-10, Me esters of 79.3 Pa m³/mol - 171 Pa m³/mol (HENRYWIN, EPI Suite) showing that the substance is volatile from water but due to the short half-life in air of 1.5 – 2.1 days calculated according to SRC AOPWIN, it is concluded that Fatty acids, C8-10, Me esters will not accumulate in air and will not be transported through the vapour phase into other environmental compartments in relevant amounts. Thus, air is not a likely route of environmental contamination and no accumulation and subsequent deposition of Fatty acids, C8-10, Me esters is to be expected. Due to the physico-chemical properties (such as the low water solubility) as well as the moderate adsorption potential, sediment and soil are expected to be the main targets for environmental distribution. However, due to the ready biodegradability, the substance will not persist in these compartments and as the test substance is poorly soluble in water it is expected that sediments are, if at all, only exposed to very small amounts of the test substance. In case the substance is present in wastewater, they will be eliminated in common wastewater treatment plants to a large amount due to the readily biodegradability of Fatty acids, C8-10, Me esters.
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.
