Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

As sodium ethanolate reacts with water under formation of sodium hydroxide and ethanol, an octanol-water partition coefficient cannot be experimentally established and bioaccumulation of the substances themselves is unlikely. Ethanol will be the species that distributes to the octanol phase or could be taken up by organisms. However, the low log Pow of ethanol (-0.31) indicates no potential for bioaccumulation.
