Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Aquatic toxicity studies of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, iron salt are not available. Thus, read-across to the assessment entities soluble iron substances and
2-ethylhexanoic acid is applied since the ions of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, iron salt determine its fate and toxicity in the environment. Relevant effects of soluble iron salts to aquatic microorganisms were not identified. For 2-ethylhexanoate, EC10 (71.7 mg/L) and EC50 (112.1 mg/L) values were derived after 17 hours of exposure of Pseudomonas putida. Thus, 2-ethylhexanoic acid, iron salt appears to have some potential for toxicity to aquatic microorganisms.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
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.
