Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Results:
Memo: A wide range of stability constants for the association of the substance with metal ions is available. These all show high values, suggesting that in the environment the substance will be associated with ions such as calcium and magnesium.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In order of complexation strength, values of the log10 of the stability constants of representative metals with HEDP are:
                  Cu        18.7
                  Co        17.3
                  Hg        16.9
                  Zn        16.7
                  Cd        15.8
                  Ni        15.8
                  Ca        6.8
                  Mg        6.2

Applicant's summary and conclusion
