Description of key information
Additional information
The degradation pathway of calcium hypophosphite is through simple dissociation into hypophosphite and the corresponding calcium cation. The study performed to analyse the dissociation constant demonstrates that the Calcium is stable as ion up to pH 12.6 and Hypophosphite ion has no hydrolysable group. Due to its high water solubility and its ionic nature, the substance is not expected to adsorb to soil or sediment or to bioaccumulate, while water is the main target compartment. Calcium hypophosphite will not volatilize from soil or water. Calcium hypophosphite is of no concern for environment.
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.
