Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Based on the ThODNH4 the percentage biodegradation of Reaction mass of sodium sulfate, sodium amino-12-dodecanoate and sodium dodecanoedioate reached 30% after 28 days of incubation.
Since the biodegradation of the test item did not reach the pass criterion of 60% degradation and no 10 day-window could be determined, the validity criterion for ready biodegradation was not applicable. Therefore, Reaction mass of sodium sulfate,sodium amino-12-dodecanoate and sodium dodecanoedioate is considered not to be readily biodegradable but a potential of inherent biodegradability can be assumed.
The reaction mass is produced at one manufacturing site and is then used by the paper industry for the production of paper by the Kraft process.
At the manufacturing site, exposure to the substance via releases to the aquatic compartment is very limited. During the concentration step of the reaction mass, water is removed to concentrate the inorganic and organic salts. Release to the aquatic compartment would be possible from this water resulting from this concentration step. Thus based on the process, the wastewater would contain a very limited amount of the reaction mass and is treated by the on-site sewage treatment plant thus resulting in a non significant exposure of the aquatic compartment to the reaction mass.
The use of the reaction mass by the paper industry is done in a closed system where it is entirely consumed during the Kraft process. Thus the use of the substance by the paper industry results in no exposure of the environment to the reaction mass.
For these reasons no test is proposed in order to further assess the biodegradation potential in the different environmental compartments.
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.
