Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
Zinc dioctanoate is not expected to be genotoxic, since the two constituents zinc and octanoic acid have not shown gene mutation potential in a range of in vitro test systems addressing the endpoints gene mutation, chromosome mutation and genome mutation.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (negative)
Genetic toxicity in vivo
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (negative)
Additional information
No genetic toxicity study with zinc dioctanoate is available, thus the genetic toxicity will be addressed with existing data on the dissociation products zinc and octanoic acid.
Zinc dioctanoate is not expected to be genotoxic, since the two constituents zinc and octanoic acid have not shown gene mutation potential in a range of in vitro test systems addressing the endpoints gene mutation, chromosome mutation and genome mutation. Thus, zinc dioctanoate is not to be classified according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 as genetic toxicant. Further testing is not required. For further information on the toxicity of the individual constituents, please refer to the relevant sections in the IUCLID and CSR.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Due to a complete absence of positive genetic toxicity findings in suitable in vitro and in vivo test systems with the dissociation products of zinc dioctanoate (i.e. zinc and octanoic acid) it is concluded that zinc dioctanoate does not possess genotoxic or mutagenic potential. Thus classification according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008 is not required.
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.
