Description of key information
Additional information
According to Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 Annex VIII 9.3.1 a study on adsorption/desorption does not need to be conducted if the test substance possesses a low octanol water partition coefficient which indicates a low potential for adsorption.
Sodium 2 -methylpropan-2 -olate hydrolyses in water to form inorganic potassium hydroxide and tert-butanol.
The latter has a low log Pow of 0.35 and hence an adsorption to the solid soil phase is not expected. The assumption of a low adsorption potential of tert-butanol is substantiated by an KOCWIN v2.0 calculation which calculated a log Koc value of 0.32 (BASF SE 2012). Therefore, an adsorption/desorption study is not provided.
Potassium hydroxide is highly soluble in water and dissociates completely to Na+ and OH-. If emitted to surface water, sorption to particulate matter and sediment will be negligible.
For tert-butanol the Henry's law constant of 1.06 Pa*m3/mol was calculated using HENRYWIN v3.20. From this result it can be concluded that the substance will slowly evaporate from the water surface to the atmosphere.
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.
