Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on the solubility of bismuth tris(2-ethylhexanoate) in water, a complete dissociation resulting in bismuth and 2-ethylhexanoate ions may be assumed under environmental conditions. Thus, the environmental fate of bismuth tris(2-ethylhexanoate) in the environment is most accurately evaluated by separately assessing the fate of its constituents bismuth and 2-ethylhexanoate. The concept of biodegradation is not applicable to metals and metal compounds such as bismuth ions, which are not considered (bio)degradable. However, 2-ethylhexanoate is readily biodegradable.
