Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

As the substance is a uvcb the BCF values were calculated for representative components with three different QSAR tools - (1) Catalogic, (2) US EPA T.E.S.T. and (3) EPISuite. The following components have been taken into account:

SMILES BCF QSAR model
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC(=O)(O) 29.16 Catalogic
CCCCCCCCC=CCCCCCCCC(=O)(O) 25.82 Catalogic
C(CCC(=O)(O))CCCCC1C=CC(CCCCCC)C2C(=O)OC(=O)C12 41.18 Catalogic
C(CCC(=O)(O))CCCCC1CCC(CCCCCC)C2C(=O)OC(=O)C12 36.54 Catalogic
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC(=O)(O) 22.59 TEST
CCCCCCCCC=CCCCCCCCC(=O)(O) 35.08 TEST
C(CCC(=O)(O))CCCCC1C=CC(CCCCCC)C2C(=O)OC(=O)C12 9.05 TEST
C(CCC(=O)(O))CCCCC1CCC(CCCCCC)C2C(=O)OC(=O)C12 9.05 TEST
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC(=O)(O) 10.00 EPISuite
CCCCCCCCC=CCCCCCCCC(=O)(O) 56.20 EPISuite
C(CCC(=O)(O))CCCCC1C=CC(CCCCCC)C2C(=O)OC(=O)C12 56.20 EPISuite
C(CCC(=O)(O))CCCCC1CCC(CCCCCC)C2C(=O)OC(=O)C12 56.20 EPISuite
     

None of the components revealed a potential to bioaccumulate in any of the QSAR models. The single values are clearly below a BCF of 100. No component could be identified with a significant potential to bioaccumulate.

Additionally, according to ECHA's Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment, data on the average maximum diameter (Dmax aver) of the main components have been taken into account. The examined components clearly exceed the value of 1.7 nm of the above mentioned guidance document. It can therefore be assumed that the compounds have a limited potential for uptake and it is unlikely that the single components have a significant potential for bioaccumulation.

SMILES Dmax aver [nm]
 CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC(=O)(O) 1.9
 CCCCCCCCC=CCCCCCCCC(=O)(O) 2.0
 C(CCC(=O)(O))CCCCC1C=CC(CCCCCC)C2C(=O)OC(=O)C12 1.9
 C(CCC(=O)(O))CCCCC1CCC(CCCCCC)C2C(=O)OC(=O)C12 1.9

Regarding all available information in a weight of evidence approach, it is assumed that the uvcb substance does not have a significant potential to bioaccumulate.
