Description of key information

“Stearic acid, monoester with propane-1,2-diol” is an UVCB substance. Several test data on ready biodegradability of similar substances within the group of fatty acid esters, the hydrolysis products including the group of fatty acids and propane-diol are available all concluding readily biodegradability. Thus, the substance will be degraded in the environment. It has a low potential for bioaccumation and biomagnification in the environment, as it is readily metabolised in the mammals and fish. It is not volatile, so it will not partition to air.
