Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
UVCB substance consist predominately of alkylsulfates and alkylethersulfates ammonium salts of various carbon chain length and degree of ethoxylation and saturation. Hence a representative set of molecules (not dissociated, acid form) in line with ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a were selected to provide a reasonble input for SPARC QSAR calculations and subsequent regulatory purposes.
The predominant components of this UVCB substance are alkylsulfates, alkylethersulfates as well as low amounts of long chain fatty alcohol residues. Alkylsulfates and alkylethersulfates can be considered as moderately strong acids with pKa values of 1.07 and 1.06.
Consequently no significant acid dissociation between pH 5-9 of alkylsulfates and alkylethersulfates is predicted due to the fact that these substances are already dissociated at lower pH values. For residues long chain fatty alcohols with a calculated pKa of 15.75 no significant acid dissociation between pH 5-9 is predicted.
Executive summary:

Although, acid dissociation is not really a relevant property for this substance (in its ammonium salt, it is actually already dissociated)according to Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance an estimation of representative individual components’ pKa values is provided.

All alkylsulfates and alkylethersulfates (acid form) can be considered as moderately strong acids.
