Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
There are no studies proposed to assess sediment toxicity. Vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate is manufactured under strictly closed conditions and is a fully reacted monomer in polymer formulations. Vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate and other organic compounds are recovered from waste water and incinerated. There is no release of this substance to the environment.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Based on REACH Annex IX, 9.1, Colume 2, sediment toxicity studies are not required due to findings of the Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA). Vinyl 2 -ethylhexanoate is manufactured under strictly closed conditions and is a fully reacted monomer in polymer formulations. There is minimal release of the substance to waste water, and all waste water undergoes organics separation and secondary biological treatment. The recovered organic phase, which contains Vinyl 2 -ethylhexanoate is incinerated. Therefore, there is no release to the aquatic environment.
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.
