Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters are stable to hydrolysis.
The substance Fatty acids, C12 -20 and C12 -20 -unsatd., 2 -ethylhexyl esters is considered to be readily biodegradable.
According to EPIsuite (KOWWIN v1.67 estimate), the partition coefficient for the Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters range from ≥8.5 - ≤ 12.6. A study is not considered to be necessary, uptake into fish is expected to be hindered by the large molecular size. If taken up by fish, these carboxylate ester-containing substances are expected to be readily metabolized and excreted. Thus, the bioaccumulation potential is expected to be much lower than predicted from log Kow alone.
The substance Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS: 91001-42-2) was determined to have a Log P value of greater than 5.7 and therefore can not be expected to have a low adsorption potential to soil. However, the Koc value was estimated from the chemical structure of the three main components of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS: 91001-42-2). According to KOCWIN the estimated Log Koc of Fatty acids, C12-20 and C12-20-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters were between Log Koc 6.4655 (Koc Estimate from MCI) and between Log Koc 6.9163 - Log Koc 7.0324 (Koc Estimate from Log Kow).
Additional information
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.
