Additional information

Based on its physico-chemical properties such as low water solubility (< 0.05 mg/L), low volatilization potential (VP < 0.00001 Pa) and log Koc (> 3), sediment and soil are expected to be the main targets for environmental distribution of fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsaturated, esters with pentaerythritol (CAS 85711-45-1). However, due to its ready biodegradability, the substance will not persist in these compartments.
