Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
A test on adsorption/desorption is not needed as the test substance decomposes rapidly. Adsorption/desorption to soil is not expected due to the low Log Pow (-1.3) and the calculated Koc value of 1.6 .
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 1.607
Additional information
As a test is not required for substances that decompose rapidly, a measured Kocis not available. For completeness and because data on adsorption potential are needed for the exposure and hazard assessment, the Kocwas calculated using the QSAR tool EPI Suite developed by US-EPA. The Kocfor Sulfonic acids, C14-16 (even numbered)-alkane hydroxy and C14-16 (even numbered)-alkene, sodium salts is 1.607 (if the experimental log Kowof -1.3 is entered into the program). However, one should keep in mind that surfactancy (the fact that surfactants tend to stay in the boundary layer between the phases) and dissociation is not taken into account in the EPI Suite estimations. Therefore calculated Kocvalues should be used with caution. Urano (1984) studied the adsorption of C12-AOS in several sediments collected in Japanese rivers. The experiments were carried out at 25 °C and pH 7.0 ± 0.5. The adsorption isotherms were found to be nearly equal for the various sediments. Adsorption was determined by the content of organic substances. For C12-AOS the Kocwas 0.65. It is expected that the adsorption potential for all alpha olefin sulfonates is low. This is supported by the low measured Log Powof -1.3 of Sulfonic acids, C14-16 (even numbered)-alkane hydroxy and C14-16 (even numbered)-alkene, sodium salts and the low measured Kocfor C12 in sediment.
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.
