Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Sodium 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate is a non-volatile substance (calculated Henry’s Law Constant = 9.37 x 10-4Pa m3/mol), expected degrade in air with a half-life of 106.97 hours. This substance dissociates in the water phase into 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, which is hydrolytically stable but susceptible of photodegradation in water (half-life due to indirect photolysis 23.1 up to 541 days due to direct photolysis). As demonstrated in a test according to OECD 301D sodium 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate is not readily biodegradable.
Once released into the environment it will be mainly distributed into the aquatic environment (100%, Mckay Level I calculation). The dissociation product, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is considered to be easily eliminated from water as indicated by a biodegradation value of 99% after 28 days in a Zahn-Wellens test and the short dissipation half-life in water/sediment systems of 29 days. Furthermore, this substance shows no adsorption potential to soil and sediment particles (Koc =56). Therefore, persistence in the environment is not expected. Bioaccumulation of sodium 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate in biota is unlikely in view of its low log Kow value (-1.19).
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.
