Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to soil macroorganism except arthropods:

Considering the use of chemical Calcium distearate as food additive;& even if the chemical is accidentally exposed to the soil compartment, there is likely to be little or moderate adsorption of chemical in soil compartment on the basis of log Koc value (1.8124 ± 0.002) and its half-life period in soil is 30 days, thus it is not persistent in soil compartment and the direct & indirect exposure of chemical in the soil compartment is unlikely.

Toxicity to terrestrial arthropods:

Considering the use of chemical Calcium distearate as food additive;& even if the chemical is accidentally exposed to the soil compartment, there is likely to be little or moderate adsorption of chemical in soil compartment on the basis of log Koc value (1.8124 ± 0.002) and its half-life period in soil is 30 days, thus it is not persistent in soil compartment and the direct & indirect exposure of chemical in the soil compartment is unlikely.

Toxicity to terrestrial plants:

Considering the use of chemical Calcium distearate as food additive;& even if the chemical is accidentally exposed to the soil compartment, there is likely to be little or moderate adsorption of chemical in soil compartment on the basis of log Koc value (1.8124 ± 0.002) and its half-life period in soil is 30 days, thus it is not persistent in soil compartment and the direct & indirect exposure of chemical in the soil compartment is unlikely.

Toxicity to soil microorganisms:

Considering the use of chemical Calcium distearate as food additive;& even if the chemical is accidentally exposed to the soil compartment, there is likely to be little or moderate adsorption of chemical in soil compartment on the basis of log Koc value (1.8124 ± 0.002) and its half-life period in soil is 30 days, thus it is not persistent in soil compartment and the direct & indirect exposure of chemical in the soil compartment is unlikely.
