Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Sodium diisobutylnaphthalenesulphonate (CAS no.: 27213 -90 -7)is like its analogue Naphthalenesulfonic acid, bis(1 -methylethyl)-, methyl derivatives, sodium salts (CAS no.: 68909 -82 -0) not expected to be readily biodegradable.
Naphthalenesulfonic acid, bis(1-methylethyl)-, methyl derivatives, sodium salts was not found the be readily biodegradable in the Closed Bottle Test.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in freshwater sediment:
- 30 000 d
Additional information
Based on the available studies on biodegradation, aromatic hydrocarbons, C10-13, reaction products with branched nonene, sulphonated, sodium salts, only part of the isomers present in the substance are degraded in sediment i.e. water soluble methylnaphthalenesulphonate, and dimethylnaphthalenesulphonate. Nonyl methylnaphthalenesulphonate and nonyldimethylnaphthalenesulphonatewill be recalcitrant in sediment. Further testing in sediment is not expected to deliver more information. For sediment therefore the default half life value of 30000 days is used for the sediment based on the log Koc of 3.4 until better data become available.
The half-life of the biodegradable fraction of aromatic hydrocarbons, C10-13, reaction products with branched nonene, sulphonated, sodium salts, in the water phase of sediment is expected to be a few days.
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.
