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

Zinc naphthenate consists of zinc salts of naphthenic acids and in the aquatic environment is expected to dissociate into zinc cations and naphthenic acid components. Zinc is an essential element which is actively regulated by organisms, so bioconcentration/bioaccumulation is not considered relevant. The ranges of BCF values are the result of active regulation mechanisms that keep the internal zinc concentration of the organisms within an optimal range. For the naphthenic acid component, QSAR estimates are provided showing the bioaccumulation potential of representative structures. The BCF of the representative constituents of zinc naphthenate are estimated by QSAR to be in the range of 3.162 to 207.7 L/kg ww.
