Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Phototransformation in air

Description of key information
Phototransformation in air is not relevant due to low vapour pressure (< 0.0001 Pa).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No experimental studies investigating the phototransformation in air of fatty acids, C16-18, 2-octyldodecyl esters (CAS 96690-38-9) are available. Because the substance is a composition of different homologues, the phototransformation in air was calculated for representative components using AOPWIN v1.92 (Müller, 2011). The results indicate that the components of the test substance are susceptible to indirect photodegradation in air. The estimated half-life for the reaction with OH-radicals is 7.81 - 8.28 h (24 h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm³). However, this is not expected to be a relevant environmental fate process, since the components fatty acids, C16-18, 2-octyldodecyl esters are not expected to be present in the atmosphere based on the low estimated vapour pressure under ambient conditions (< 0.0001 Pa at 20 °C). As this study is not a standard information requirement in REACh and there is no indication from the Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA) on the need to investigate further the fate and behaviour of the substance (Annex X requirement), no further testing is considered necessary for fatty acids, C16-18, 2-octyldodecyl esters.
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.
