Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 fate of zinc 3,5,5 -trimethylhexanoate in the environment is most accurately evaluated by separately assessing the fate of its constituents zinc cations and trimethyl hexanoate anions.

 

Zinc

Biodegradation is not applicable for zinc. For water, information is available on the removal of metals from the water column. The removal from the water column was modeled referring to the EUSES model parameters and different conditions of pH.Zinc is removed by > 70% under the reference conditions for EU regional waters (EUSES).

Trimethylhexanoate

The environmental fate of trimethylhexanoate is (in parts) assessed based on data available for its structural analogue neodecanoic acid. Neodecanoic acid is not readily biodegradable (11% biodegradation in 28 d) based on results of a standard OECD ready biodegradation test. However, based on the QSAR prediction with BIOWIN (v4.10),3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid may beconsidered as readily biodegradable.
