Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Several data (calculation method or handbook) are available:
- 1955 mg/L and 5316 mg/L at 25°C from a validated calculation method (Episuite v4, WSKOW v1.41)
- 2850 mg/L at 25°C from literature source (Yalkowski 1992)
- 2419 mg/L at 15°C from a review article or an handbook (Merck&Co 2006)
- and other data coming from calculation method or secondary literrature : 2343 mg/L (15°C), 2744 mg/L (40°C), 5304 mg/L, 3446 mg/ml
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 1 955 mg/L
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
Additional information
No full report of experimental study is available for the water solubility of heptanoic acid.
As the applicability of the EPIWIN program ( WSKOWWIN v1.41) for the estimation of water solubility values of heptanoic acid has been demonstrated, this calculated value is considered acceptable and its reliability is considered as "2".
This estimated water solubility values (1955 -5316 mg/L) are consistent with the experimental data reported in the experimental data base of the model Episuite (Yalkowski) and other literature data.
These several values between 1955 mg/L and 5316 mg/L indicate that heptanoic acid is soluble in water.
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.
