Description of key information
In water calcium dioctanoate is expected to dissociate to calcium ions and fatty acids. As an inorganic metal, the calcium ion will not undergo biodegradation, however, the fatty acid component may be biodegraded. Adipic acid is readily biodegradable based on publicly available data from five ready biodegradation tests. It is also inherently biodegradable. This supports the conclusions from a report that includes dioctanoic acid (CoCAM 2014). The data for adipic acid is read across to calcium dioctanoate with the overall conclusion that calcium dioctanoate is readily biodegradable.
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.
