Description of key information

Hydrolysis

Dissociates in water to calcium ion and formate ions. Both of these are considered stable in water. 

A carboxylic acid is generally the final product of hydrolysis reactions (Lyman, 1990).

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be performed if the substance is readily biodegradable. The analoguous substance sodium formate is readily biodegradable (KM Lab, 1998).
