Description of key information
Hydrolysis and photodegradation are not relevant for the substance octanoic acid, zinc salt, basic.
Additional information
According to Annex VIII Column 2 of Regulation (EC) 1907/2006), information on hydrolysis is not required for biodegradable substances.
Regarding phototransformation/photolysis, octanoic acid, zinc salt, basic is produced from natural fatty materials, i.e. octanoic acid (C8), and consists of approximately 78% natural fatty acids and a maximum of 24% zinc. The zinc moiety is an inorganic element and thus neither a subject to hydrolysis nor to photodegeneration. AOPWin (v.1.92) calculations result in photodegradation half-lifes of 15,372 hours for octanoic acid, respectively. However, photodegradation is not expected to be relevant for octanoic acid, zinc salt, basic under typical environmental conditions due to dominant biotic degradation processes.
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.
