Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In the assessment of potassium neodecanoate, read-across to the assessment entities soluble potassium substances and neodecanoic acid is applied since the ions of potassium neodecanoate determine its fate and toxicity in the environment. The potential for acute toxicity of potassium to aquatic invertebrates is low based on EC50 values for Daphnia magna and Ceriodaphnia dubia being above the OECD 202 test limit of 100 mg/L and the fact that potassium is added to standard test media. Based on a reliable OECD 202 equivalent study, the 48-h EL50 for D. magna is > 457 mg/L (measured) neodecanoic acid. Thus, potassium neodecanoate has a low potential for acute toxicity to aquatic invertebrates.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
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.
