Description of key information
Transport and distribution of zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate) in the environment is most accurately evaluated by separately assessing the fate of its dissociation products, zinc cations and 2-ethylhexanoic acid anions.
Zinc: The coefficient for partitioning of zinc between particulate matter and water (Kpsusp) of 109,648 L/Kg was derived for EU waters whereas the Kp for the distribution between sediment and water (Kpsed) was estimated with 73,000 L/kg. For saltwater, a partition coefficient water/suspended matter of 6010 L/kg was derived. For soil, a solids-water partitioning coefficient of 158.5 L/kg was determined experimentally.
2 –ethylhexanoic acid: Reliable data according to OECD TG 106 indicate that significant adsorption of 2-ethylhexanoic acid to the solid soil phase (e.g. clay) is not expected. Due to its low Henry's Law constant, evaporation from the water surface is also not anticipated. Based on modelling the distribution in environmental compartments (Mackay LEVEL 1 v3.0) using standard environmental properties (Mackay, 2001), 2 -ethylhexanoate will preferentially partition into water.
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.
