Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Short description of key information on bioaccumulation potential result: 
The toxicokinetic behaviour of the substance was investigated based on a review of the published literature. Key parameters are its low water solubility and high octanol-water partition coefficient. It is readily biodegraded through cleavage of the ester linkage. Bioaccumulation potential cannot easily be determined, but the substance meets the screening criteria for bioaccumulative.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Bioaccumulation potential:
low bioaccumulation potential

Additional information

The literature on the toxicokinetics of EC 415-430-8 was reviewed. Its low water solubility and high molecular weight polymeric structure suggests a lower potential for absorption across the skin, gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract compared to the fatty acid esters, the digestion products. These are readily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Fatty acid esters are taken up in the plasma and distributed to highly perfused tissues. Fatty acid esters are also likely to be distributed in the body fat and in breast milk. Any fatty acid esters formed will undergo acylation, desaturation and β-oxidation. EC 415-430-8 (the fatty acid esters) and the products of metabolism are not likely to be toxic.
