Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18-unsatd., zinc salts:
Studies on long-term toxicity of Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18-unsatd., zinc salts to aquatic invertebrates are not available. Thus, read-across to the assessment entities soluble zinc substances and C14-18 fatty acids is applied, since zinc cations and fatty acid anions determine its fate and toxicity in the environment. Since C14-18-satd. and C16-18-unsatd. fatty acids have a low potential for ecotoxicity, the hazard assessment of Fatty acids, C14-18 and C16-18-unsatd., zinc salts is based on zinc ions. Please refer to the endpoint summary of the respective assessment entity for further details.
Fatty acid anions (C14-18-satd. and C16-18-unsatd.):
Fatty acids as contained in plant and animal tissue are a natural component of aquatic systems, represent a significant part of the nutritional demands of living organisms, are rapidly degraded and non-bioaccumulative and have a low potential for chronic toxicity to aquatic invertebrates.
Zinc:
The NOEC values for 13 freshwater species range from 0.014 to 0.400 mg Zn/L and for 26 marine species from 0.0056 and 0.9 mg Zn/L (all dissolved).
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.
