Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adsorption

Parent compound palmitoyl chloride: no data.

Hydrolysis product palmitic acid: Adsorption to solid soil phase is expected. However, the substance is readily biodegradable.

Henry's Law Constant

Parent compound palmitoyl chloride: no data.

Hydrolysis product palmitic acid: The hydrolysis product palmitic acid will not evaporate into the atmosphere from the water surface.

Distribution modelling

Parent compound palmitoyl chloride: no data.

Hydrolysis product palmitic acid: Over time, the hydrolysis product palmitic acid will preferentially distribute into the compartment sediment (50.1%) and soil (49.5%).

Additional information

Palmitoyl chloride hydrolyses very quickly to palmitic acid (CAS 57 -10 -3) and HCl (CAS 7647 -01 -0) (t1/2 < 5 min, see IUCLID Ch. 5.1.2). Therefore, the assessment is mainly based on the hydrolysis product palmitic acid.
