Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

248-326-4
EC Name:
Sodium diisobutylnaphthalenesulphonate
Cas Number:
27213-90-7
Molecular formula:
Not applicable (UVCB substance)
IUPAC Name:
sodium 2,3-bis(2-methylpropyl)naphthalene-1-sulfonate

Results and discussion

Dissociating properties:
yes
Dissociation constant
Remarks on result:
other: Sulfonate anions are the conjugate bases of sulfonic acids. Sulfonic acids are such strong acids, that in general they can be considered greater than 99% ionized (pKa values for sulfonic acids is ca. −2.8).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance is mainly constituted of sodium salts of diisobutyl naphthalene sulfonic acid. Sulfonate anions are the conjugate bases of sulfonic acids, that are very strong acids (pKa ca. -2.8), totally dissociated in water.
