Description of key information

log Koc > 5.0 (25 °C, EPI Suite v4.11, KOCWIN v2.00, MCI method)

log Koc > 5.0 (25 °C, EPI Suite v4.11, KOCWIN v2.00, log Kow method)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental studies are available assessing the adsorption potential of fatty acids C18-C22 (even numbered), tetraesters with pentaerythritol. Therefore, the log Koc was calculated by (Q)SAR, using the KOCWIN v2.00 model based on the Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI) and the log Kow method, for three representative constituents of the substance.

The predicted constituents only partially fall within the applicability domain of both methods, mainly due to the high, estimated log Kow (> 5, QSAR models) of the substance. Thus, the reported results are not fully reliable. Nonetheless, the predictions are considered sufficiently reliable to provide an indication of trends and are considered acceptable in a weight-of-evidence approach according to REACh regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI General rules for adaptation of the standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X, 1.2.

The estimation based on the MCI method resulted in log Koc values of 22.93 - 23.98 and the log Kow method resulted in similar values of 21.91. - 23.00. Both models indicate a high potential for adsorption to particles in soil and sediment, which is in line with the high estimated log Kow (> 10, VEGA version 1.1.3).
