Glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., deodorizer distillates is a complex combination obtained by distillation of oils with carbon-chain distribution C16-18, and C18-unsatd in a deodorizer, followed by condensation of the vapor. The composition of this substance varies depending on the vegetable oil feedstock type and the process efficiency of the deodorizer. It is composed of 0-80% glycerides and 15-95% fatty acids (including their esters), 0-40% unsaponifiable matter, e.g. tocopherols, sterols, sterol esters and hydrocarbons, e.g. squalene. The glycerides and fatty acids are characterised by linear alkyl chain lengths between C16 and C18, including C18-unsatd. and the exact distribution also depends on the vegetable oil feedstock.

Rules of the SDA Naming system must be applied to characterize the feedstock. Oils distilled for the production of Glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., deodorizer distillates must correspond to the following substance :

• Name: Glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsatd.
• SDA Reporting Number: 11-001-00
• CAS Number: 67701-30-8
• EC Number: 266-948-4
• EC Description: This substance is identified by SDA Substance Name: C16-C18 and C18 unsaturated trialkyl glyceride and SDA Reporting Number: 11-001-00.

It is the obligation of all potential registrants to determine the correct alkyl chain descriptor for the substances that they intend to register, and not to assume equivalence of their substances with a substance produced by another Legal Entity.

The REVODS Consortium prepared the following Specification for the identification and generic composition of the substance. For additional information on the substance, please refer to the generic webpage for distillates and other derivatives mentionned above.

The following company is the Lead Registrant: SAIPOL SAS
SAIPOL SAS is a subsidiary of the Sofiprotéol group. For a short presentation of SAIPOL SAS, please visit the institutional website of the Sofiprotéol group.

Paper correspondence (including paper copies of the signed SIEF Agreement) shall be sent to:

A SIEF Agreement is available for signature between each applicant SIEF participant and the Lead Registrant. SIEF membership is confirmed as soon as the Agreement is signed by both the applicant SIEF Member and the Lead Registrant of the SIEF.

Applicants are invited to send two paper copies of the appended SIEF Agreement, filled in with the relevant details and signed by a duly authorized representative, to the Lead Registrant at the postal address mentioned in this SIEF page. The Lead Registrant will then sign these documents: one copy will be sent back to the applicant, and the other will be retained for the archives.

Access to the Joint Submission of this Substance is granted by the Lead Registrant to SIEF Members that have purchased a Letter of Access (LoA) on individual basis per legal entity. Joint Submission name and security token are provided to those companies that have:

1. Confirmed the SIEF Membership, by sending 2 hard copies of the SIEF Agreement signed and received one of these signed by the Lead Registrant.
2. Paid the Letter of Access fees. The actual fees will be provided together with the invoicing details on the invoice sent by the Consortium to the SIEF Member once his membership is confirmed.

By fulfilling these two conditions, the SIEF Member will be granted access to the Joint Submission of this Substance. The Member of the Joint Submission remains responsible for confirming his Joint Submission membership in REACH-IT. Member is also responsible for the preparation and the submission of part of the dossier that is not submitted jointly.

Estimation of costs is pending.
