Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolysis and stability of nickel 2-ethylhexanoate in the environment are most accurately evaluated by separately assessing the stability of its constituents nickel cations and 2-ethylhexanoate anions. Due to structural properties, hydrolysis is not expected to be an important fate path for 2-ethylhexanoate. In addition, 2-ethylhexanoate is readily biodegradable. Abiotic degradation including hydrolysis is not relevant for metals including nickel. Therefore hydrolysis is not expected to influence the environmental fate of nickel 2-ethylhexanoate.
