Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Magnesium acrylate is not supposed to be directly applied to soil and an indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge transfer is unlikely since the substance is readily biodegradable. For a substance being considered as „readily biodegradable“, it can be assumed that it will be biodegraded within the STP process and as a consequence a transfer to the soil compartment is not expected.
For the identified use external sealing of injection materials in the construction industry, magnesium acrylate will polymerise within 20 seconds to 15 minutes without significant rest monomer left over. For the cases horizontal or masonry injection an exposure to soil is unlikely, because the injection material is placed within in the building structure and has no contact to the soil. The same applies to other injection areas within the building structure (e.g. joint sealing, crack injection).
In summary, due to the area of application, the very short reaction time and its ready biodegradability an exposure to soil is unlikely.
Furthermore, the physicochemical data indicate that the substance is not adsorptive or bioaccumulative (log Kow = -1.87), a significant distribution into the soil compartment and a significant exposure of terrestrial organisms is not expected. Therefore, no tests on terrestrial organisms are provided.
This is in accordance with the specific rules for adaptation from testing in 9.4 of column 2 in annex IX of the regulaton (EC) 1907/2006.
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.
