Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
The environmental fate and pathways of the reaction mass of chlorodifluoroacetic acid (CDFA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is defined by the properties of its both constituents, i.e. CDFA and TFA. Therefore, in the present dossier the key studies available on both constituents are reported in the Endpoint Study Records, and a conclusion on the reaction mass is performed in the Endpoint Study Summaries.
This strategy is possible due to similar chemical structure and physico-chemical properties of both constituents. Indeed, the only difference in the chemical structure is that an atom of Fluorine of the TFA is replaced by an atom of Chlorine in CDFA. Both substances are liquids highly soluble in water with a moderate vapour pressure and a low logKow. Both constituents are acids with low pKa and will therefore be dissociated into the environmental compartments.
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.
