Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolysis:

In view of the chemical structure of the substance hydrolysis is not expected.

Biodegradation:

In general biodegradation in water, sediment and soil is not an applicable endpoint for pure inorganic substances. However, in a GLP study conducted according to OECD 301A Muckle & Paulus (2008) investigated the biodegradation potential of chromium triacetate. Since the substance is a metal salt with an organic counter ion, results on biodegradation obtained in this study, solely refer to the organic part of the substance and not to chromium, i.e. acetic acid. Results are based on the removal of dissolved organic carbon. The 10-day-window started on day 1, on day 9, 92% was reached, surpassing the pass level of 70% stated in the OECD Guideline. The degree of biodegradation reached 92% after 9 days. As a plateau had been reached and no further degradation was likely to take place, the test was ended. Thus the organic compound can be considered to be readily biodegradable.
