Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Conclusions:
The Koc value as calculated by using the KOCWIN v2.00 module of EPIWIN 4.0 - is 952.3 L/kg
Executive summary:

EPIWIN 4.0. calculations result in a KOC of 952.3 l/kg, based on the log Pow of 3.95, as calculated by the KOWWIN module of EPIWIN 4.0 (see see. It is appropriate to use the Log Kow value of 3.95, since log Kow falls within the applicability domain of the EPIWIN model.

Description of key information

The Koc value was calculated using EPIWIN 4.0. The resulting value of 952.3  L/kg indicates that Docusate Sodium would not strongly adsorb to soils or sediments should these environmental compartments be exposed to it.

Additional information

The QSAR tool EPIWIN 4.0 was applied to calculate the Koc of Docusate Sodium, based on its Log Kow (EPINWIN 4.0). The resulting Koc estimate of 952.3 L/kg indicates that Docusate Sodium would not strongly adsorb to soils or sediments.

It should be mentioned that, in accordance with EC 1907/2006, Annex VIII, point 9.3.1, column 2, assessment of the adsorption/desorption behaviour of Docusate Sodium is not required due to its ready biodegradability and its low octanol-water partition coefficient, indicating that it has not a high potential to adsorb to soils/sediments. Hence, environmental exposure assessment is not being done. Although determination of Kd/Kocis not required, Koc is needed for PNEC sediment and soil derivation and was hence calculated for that purpose.
