Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

One experimental study according to OECD 301F indicates that the substance sodium anisate (CAS 536-45-8) is readily biodegradable according to the OECD criteria. A degradation of 89% was recorded after 28 d. The measured octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow of -0.53) is low, indicating a low potential for bioaccumulation and no tendency of adsorption to soil and sediment. No study is available on adsorption/desorption with the substance. In accordance with column 2 of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 Annex VIII the testing of adsorption is not required since the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption based on the low log Pow.

There is no study available on hydrolysis as a function of pH with the substance sodium anisate (CAS No. 536-45-8). In accordance with Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex VIII Column 2, a test for hydrolysis as a function of pH does not need to be performed if the substance is readily biodegradable.
