The aromatic sulphonic acids completely ionise in water even at low pH. The salts of these acids are the hydrotropes. There are 7 biodegradation studies with the acid forms and 7 with the salt forms supporting the conclusion of ready biodegradability in water. In soil, the time necessary for complete biodegradation of the acid form was 32 days.
