Description of key information

Transport and distribution of zinc 3,5,5 -trimethyl hexanoate in the environment is most accurately evaluated by separately assessing the fate of its constituents zinc cations and trimethyl hexanoate anions.

Zinc

The coefficient for partitioning of zinc between particulate matter and water (Kpsusp) of 109,648 L/Kg was derived for EU waters whereas the Kp for the distribution between sediment and water (Kpsed) was estimated with 73,000 L/kg. For saltwater, a partition coefficient water/suspended matter of 6010 L/kg was derived. For soil, a solids-water partitioning coefficient of 158.5 L/kg was determined experimentally.

Trimethyl hexanoate

The environmental fate of trimethyl hexanoate is (in parts) assessed based on data available for its structural analogue neodecanoic acid. The logKoc of neodecanoic acid is estimated with 121 L/kg). Based on the outcome of the Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI) model of KOCWIN (v 2.00), the logKoc of trimethyl hexanoate is 1.48 (Koc = 30.4 L/kg) whereas a logKoc of 100. 7 (logKoc = 2.0) is predicted when based on the Kow estimate. Trimethyl hexanoate is within the applicability domain of KOCWIN (v.2.00). Since the MCI methodology is more accurate than the log Kow methodology, when based on an estimated log Kow, the MCI model estimate is applied.
