Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on the solubility of neodecanoic acid, zirconium salt in water, dissociation of the dissolved salt, resulting in zirconium cations and neodecanoate anions, may be assumed. Thus, the fate of neodecanoic acid, zirconium salt in the environment is most accurately evaluated by separately assessing the fate of its constituents zirconium and neodecanoate. Zirconium, however, has a very low mobility under most environmental conditions. For a documentation and justification of that approach, please refer to the separate document attached to section 13, namely Read Across Assessment Report for neodecanoic acid, zirconium salts.

The concept of biodegradation is not applicable to inorganic elements such as zirconium. Neodecanoic acid is also not readily biodegradable (11% biodegradation in 28 d) based on results of a standard OECD ready biodegradation test. Therefore, biotic degradation does not appear to be a relevant environmental fate path of neodecanoic acid, zirconium salts.
