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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate]:
Toxicity data are not available for zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate]. A read-across is made to insoluble/ slightly soluble zinc substances.
Zinc:
NOEC and EC10 values are available for 18 different species. TheNOEC/EC10 values vary between 32 mg Zn/kgdw for Trifolium pratense andVicia sativa to 5855 mg Zn/kg dw for Triticum aestivum .
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate]:
As terrestrial toxicity data are not available for zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate], a read-across to insoluble/ slightly soluble zinc substances is made. It is assumed that upon dissolution or intake zinc bis[12-hydroxyoctadecanoate] is changed in part to ionic zinc and that only ionic zinc is determining biological activities.The ecotoxic potential of the fatty acid chain, i.e. 12-hydroxystearate, is assumed to be negligible. Fatty acids are generally not considered to represent a risk to the environment, which is reflected in their exclusion from REACH registration requirements (c.f. REACH Annex V (Regulation (EC) No 987/2008)).For a comprehensive overview of the toxicity of zinc, see the hazard assessment of "Zinc" within the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 in Appendix 1 of the CSR and cited in excerpts below.
Zinc:
For plants, 45 individual high quality NOECs/EC10 values are selected for PNEC derivation, representing 18 different species. NOEC and EC10 values vary between 32 mg Zn/kgdw for Trifolium pratense and Vicia sativa (Van der Hoeven and Henzen, 1994) to 5855 mg Zn/kg dw for Triticum aestivum (Warne et al., 2008a).
All toxicity data are expressed as added Zn concentration in soil, based on either the nominal dose added or on measured, background corrected soil Zn concentrations.

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.
