Description of key information

Based on the solubility of strontium 2-ethylhexanoate in water, a complete dissociation resulting in strontium ions and 2-ethylhexanoate ions may be assumed under environmental conditions. The concept of biodegradation is not applicable to strontium ions. However, 2-ethylhexanoate is readily biodegradable (99% biodegradation in 28 d) based on results according to standard OECD test guideline 301E and supporting studies.
