Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Data have been read across from lithium 12-hydroxystearate and isooctadecanoic acid, both of which are considered to be readily biodegradable. Therefore, lithium isooctadecanoate is considered readily biodegradable.
Lithium isooctadecanoate consists of a lithium cation and an organic fatty acid anion. According to column 2 of REACH Annex VII, ready biodegradability studies do not need to be conducted for inorganic substances and therefore biodegradation is not considered to be relevant for the lithium cation. Biodegradation of the substance is relevant only to the organic component and isooctadecanoic acid is readily biodegradable. The final breakdown products of lithium isooctadecanoate are carbon dioxide and water from the fatty acid anion and lithium from the cation. Thus, stable degradation products are not formed in the environment from the degradation of the organic component.
Further testing on lithium isooctadecanoate itself is currently ongoing to support this endpoint.
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.
