Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in soil
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- biodegradation in soil: simulation testing
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is readily biodegradable
Reference
Description of key information
Waived: The 2-ethylhexanoate component of the tin bis(2 -ethylhexanoate) salt is readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The tin bis(2 -ethylhexanoate) substance is known to dissociate into the 2-ethylhexanoate and Sn(II) components upon introduction to water. At the circumneutral pH encountered in the environment, these components will occur as the soluble 2-ethylhexanoate anion and insoluble Sn(IV)O2. The former component is readily biodegradable, while the latter is an inorganic species for which testing of biodegradation is neither required nor relevant.
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.
