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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
HEDP sodium salts will fully dissociate in aqueous solution and will behave no differently to the parent HEDP acid and its sodium counter ion at equivalent concentrations. It is not expected that the sodium counter ion will contribute significantly to the overall toxicity of their HEDP salts. Therefore, the impact on aquatic organisms will be dominated by the effects of the HEDP acid and PNECs are derived in terms of HEDP acid.
Read-across between HEDP salts and the parent acid substance is considered appropriate because:
The category hypothesis is that all the members are various ionised forms of the acid CAS 2809-21-4. The main assumption is that sodium and potassium are not significant in respect of all the properties under consideration. HEDP salts will dissociate into HEDP and the counter-ion when in contact with aqueous and moist media, therefore the two substances should be assessed separately. In dilute aqueous conditions of defined pH a salt will behave no differently to the parent acid, at identical concentration of the particular speciated form present and will be fully dissociated. Hence some properties for a salt can be directly read-across (with suitable mass correction) to the parent acid and vice versa.
Conclusion on classification
Not classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, based on the fact that short term toxicity data are >100 mg/L. In addition, the NOEC for long term toxicity with invertebrates is >1 mg/L therefore HEDP sodium is not classified for the environment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
