Additional information

Metal carboxylates are substances consisting of a metal and a carboxylic acid. Based on the solubility of strontium neodecanoate in water (8.47 g dissolved Sr/L at pH 8.4 corresponding to 45.07 g strontium neodecanoate/L), a complete dissociation of strontium neodecanoate resulting in strontium and neodecanoate ions may be assumed under environmental conditions. As the concept of phototransformation is not applicable to strontium and neodecanoate ions do not absorb light within a range relevant for photolysis (290-700nm), this degradative process is not thought to affect strontium neodecanoate under environmental conditions.
