Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
According to the REACH legislation Annex VIII 9.3.1 a study on the adsorption/desorption behaviour does not need to be conducted if the substance and its relevant degradation products decompose rapidly. Therefore, data on the adsorption/desorption behaviour of LAS-TEA are not required.
Assuming full and rapid dissociation of LAS-TEA in aqueous environments, data on the adsorption/desorption behaviour of LAS-Na and TEA can be used to describe the adsorption and desorption behaviour of LAS-TEA. Both LAS-Na and TEA decompose rapidly as well, and therefore no data on the adsorption/desorption behaviour of LAS-Na and TEA is required, however, the following information is available:
TEA:
Due to the calculated Koc of 17 and its rapid degradation, adsorption of TEA to the solid soil phase (e.g. clay) is not expected.
Due to the Henrys law constant, TEA will not evaporate from the water surface.
Regarding the environmental distribution (Mackay Level I), over time, TEA will preferentially distribute into the water.
LAS-Na:
The adsorption-desorption behaviour of LAS in activated sludge was determined in batch experiments. The Kp for commercial LAS was 2,500 L/kg, with a log Kp of 3.4.
Fugacity modeling of LAS was done using several different models: Mackay level I, II, and III, the ChemCAN model, and the WW-TREAT, GRiDS, and ROUT models.Based on these findings, the dominant fate processes are degradation rates in water and soil, and water-sediment transfer.
The HAZCHEM derived from Mackay type level III model was used to calculate the distribution of LAS in the environment. Results show that most of the LAS partitions to soil, with relatively little in water or air. However, the amount in soil may be overpredicted as the model did not take into account degradation in soil.
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.
