Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The primary source of possible substance environmental release is represented by industrial waste waters, thus the fate and pathways of the substance in surface water is of primary concern.

Considering the intended use in aqueous-based treatments, Acid Orange 067 is not expected to be directly released to air, either soil. The physicochemical properties of the item confirm that the air compartment can be considered as not relevant.

The substance is more or less soluble in aqueous solutions, depending on the water ions concentrations. Acid Orange 067 is a powder at room temperature and it does not melt/boil up to ca 300 °C.

In the aquatic environment, hydrolysis is not expected to be an important removal process for Acid Orange 067 due to the chemical characteristics.

Phototransformation in air/water/soil has not been investigated.

Although Acid Orange 067 is neither readily nor inherently biodegradable, the biodegradability available tests showed that the substance can be efficiently removed from waste water by adsorption to sludge. In the key study, the main elimination process occurred during the first day, when 93 % of the initial DOC was removed by adsorption.

The binding capacity (or “stickiness”) of the Acid Orange 067 to solid surfaces is expected to be low, on the basis of the physicochemical properties and the estimated value.

There are no empirical bioaccumulation data available for Acid Orange 067, nevertheless on the basis of the negative log Pow, it is expected to be characterized by a low potential for bioaccumulation and/or a low potential to cross biological membranes.
