Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The partition coefficient of Sodium 2 -hydroxyethanesulphonate can not be determined using the Shake-flask (OECD test guideline No. 107) and the HPLC (OECD test guideline No. 117) method. However, according to Directive 92/69/EEC (O.J. L383 A), Annex 1 (calculation / estimation methods) the value of the partition coefficient can be estimated by the use of the solubilities of the test substance in the pure solvents. Solubilities were determined according OECD test guideline 105 using the shake flask method. The partition coefficient was estimated to be log Pow = -4.6.
This low value indicates that sodium isethionate is very unlikely to bioaccumulate.
This estimate is being supported by an even lower calculated partition coefficient using the software KOWWIN from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The calculation resulted in a log Pow of -5.5.
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.
