Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Log Pow = 1.88
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Log Kow (Log Pow):
- 1.88
Additional information
Data is not available for partition coefficient of sodium benzoate itself. Given the dissociation constant of benzoic acid (pKa is 4.03) it is anticipated that in solution sodium benzoate will be largely dissociated into benzoic acid. Hence read-across of the partition coefficient study from benzoic acid (Berthod, 1988) is justified. Log Pow is therefore 1.88.
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.
