Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No experimental data on potassium-S-lactate are available. In aqueous environments potassium-S-lactate fully dissociates into K+ ions and lactic acid. The transport and distribution behaviour of potassium-S-lactate in the environment can be understood in terms of the transport and distribution behaviour of potassium chloride and lactic acid.

Adsorption of potassium chloride is not predicted to occur to an appreciable extent since potassium chloride is inorganic and has a high water solubility.

Due to its physicochemical properties, lactic acid will be present, remain, or distribute to, aqueous compartments, and will be rapidly degraded or metabolized there.

Additional information

This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance.

For details and justification of read-across please refer to the attached report in section 13 of IUCLID.
