Adsorption / desorption
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- adsorption / desorption: screening
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance and its relevant degradation products decompose rapidly
- Justification for type of information:
- JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VIII and IX, the study adsorption/desorption does not need to be conducted as the substance has a low Log Kow and is readily biodegradable. - Endpoint:
- adsorption / desorption
- Type of information:
- (Q)SAR
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Study period:
- N/A
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: The organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficient for soil and sediment; i.e. Koc, of this substance has been calculated with EUSES version 2.1, based on logKow, by using the default QSAR model (for non-hydrophobics).
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- As the screening study (OECD 121) is technically not feasible and the OECD 106 study has not been performed, the only available option is to calculate the organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficient for soil and sediment (Koc). The Koc of the substance has been calculated with EUSES version 2.1, based on logKow, by using the in EUSES default QSAR for the chemical class non-hydrophobics:
Koc = (10.47 x Kow^0.52)/1000 (with Koc in m3/kg) - GLP compliance:
- no
- Key result
- Type:
- Koc
- Value:
- 3.16 L/kg
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Key result
- Type:
- log Koc
- Value:
- 0.5 dimensionless
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not applicable
- Conclusions:
- The organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficient for soil and sediment; i.e. Koc, of this substance has been calculated with EUSES version 2.1, based on logKow, by using the default QSAR model (for non-hydrophobics). The calculated Koc and logKoc values are 3.16 and 0.5, respectively.

Description of key information
As the surfactant part of the substance is present as sodium carboxylates at environmental pH, the substance is expected to partition predominantly to the aquatic compartment and minimally adhere to organic matter.
For the environmental CSA, the Koc of the substance has been calculated based on logKow. The calculated Koc value is 3.16 L/kg.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 3.16
