Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
OCTANOIC ACID, ZINC SALT, BASIC:
Octanoic acid, zinc salt, basic is readily biodegradable. Based on the solubility of octanoic acid, zinc salt, basic in water, its environmental fate and pathways are defined by the mobility of zinc cations and octanoate anions under environmental conditions, and fatty acids (i.e. octanoate) degrade via the β-oxidation pathway. The Koc value of 69.63 L/kg for octanoic acid was estimated based on QSAR using EPISuite (V.4.00 - 4 .11) and a log Kow of 3.05. Transport and distribution coefficients are reported for zinc cations which will be released upon dissolution in water. However, 70 % of zinc is removed from the water column under reference conditions for EU regional waters (EUSES) (see section 5.6.: "removal from the water column").
Additional information
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.
