Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Metal carboxylates such as fatty acids, C6-19-branched, calcium salts are substances consisting of a metal cation and a carboxylic acid anion. Based on the solubility of fatty acids, C6-19-branched, calcium salts in water, a complete dissociation of fatty acids, C6-19-branched, calcium salts resulting in calcium ions and C6-19-branched fatty acid ions (or rather its structural analogue neodecanoate) may be assumed under environmental conditions. Hydrolysis is not relevant for the fate of calcium and neodecanoate ions (structural analogue of C6-19-branched fatty acids) due to the respective absence of hydrolysable functional groups. Thus, abiotic degradation is not expected to contribute to the fate of fatty acids, C6-19-branched, calcium salts in the environment.
