Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 strontium 2-ethylhexanoate are substances consisting of a metal cation and a carboxylic acid anion. Based on the solubility of strontium 2-ethylhexanoate in water, a complete dissociation resulting in strontium ions and 2-ethylhexanoate ions may be assumed under environmental conditions.
Data for strontium bioaccumulation in freshwater and seawater species is available from several studies. Strontium behaves very similar to calcium and enriches in bones or rather in hard tissues of organisms (ATSDR, Public Health Statement: Strontium; 2004). However, BCFs of hard tissues of freshwater organisms are relatively low and even lower for saltwater species. Reported tissue BAF remain below 100. Limited data on the transfer of Sr up the aquatic food chain indicates that strontium does not biomagnify. Regarding 2-ethylhexanoate, bioaccumulation is not expected based on the n-octanol/water partition coefficient (logPow <3).

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.
