Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
No relevant biodegradability studies are available for decanoic acid, mixed esters with heptanoic acid, octanoic acid and trimethylolpropane, however, ready biodegradability studies are available for two closely related structural analogues (CAS 11138-60-6 and CAS 78-16-0). Both studies showed the test substances to be readily biodegradable therefore decanoic acid, mixed esters with heptanoic acid, octanoic acid and trimethylolpropane is considered to be readily biodegradable by read-across therefore further simulation testing on sediment and soil is not required.
Based on the physico-chemical properties of the substance (such as predicted low water solubility) and log Koc value > 5.63, sediment and soil are expected to be the main targets for environmental distribution. However, due to its expected ready biodegradability, the substance will not persist in these compartments. As the substance has a low vapour pressure (7.55 x 10E-6 Pa) and a predicted low water solubility, minimal evaporation into air is expected. .Bioaccumulation is not expected due to the rapid metabolism to fatty acids and alcohols. Also,the test substance has an estimated BCF value of 34.88 L/kg ww (geometric mean). Therefore, in accordance with Annex XIII the substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative.
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.
