Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Sodium methanolate has a low potential for volatilisation from the water phase.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Henry's law constant (H) (in Pa m³/mol):
0.304
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

In water, sodium methanolate rapidly hydrolyses forming methanol and sodium hydroxide (OECD, 2002). The Henry's Law constant for sodium methanolate was calculated via QSAR and resulted in a value of 0.304 Pa m³/mol (study director, 2005b) (based on methanol as surrogate) indicating a low potential for volatilisation. However, due to the rapid hydrolysis sodium methanolate is not expected to be present in teh environment as such.
