Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Due to the ionic character, potassium carbonate has a very low vapour pressure and very high water solubility.Therefore a very low Henry's Law constant can be assumed. Furthermore bio- and geoaccumulation are not to be expected. Based on this, potassium carbonate will remain predominantly in the water phase.In addition based on the ionic character and the physicochemical properties, no sorption onto soil and sediment organic matter occurs. Distribution modelling does not need to be conducted because the available data are sufficient for assessment.
