Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

SPECIATION OF THE REGISTRATION SUBSTANCE

The registration substance is a monobasic acid with a pKa of 4.7 (see IUCLID Chapter 4.21). This means that in aqueous medium at pH 7 >99% exists as salt.

REGISTRATION SUBSTANCE AND READ-ACROSS

The registration substance Tetrapropenyl succinimido caproic acid (Tetra-PSCA), CAS No. 1424148-99-1 is a structural homologue of Pentapropenyl succinimido caproic acid (Penta-PSCA), CAS No. 1424148-94-6. Both substance are not only structurally very similar they also have a similar Octanol-water partitioning coefficient: Tetra-PSCA Log Kow=3.7 and Penta-PSCA Log Kow=3.6. Assuming a narcotic mode of action the ecotoxicity of both substances should be comparable based on their comparable Log Kow. Both substances have also comparable vapour pressures and Critical Micelle Concentrations. Therefore it is justified to use substance data from Penta-PSCA for read-across to Tetra-PSCA.

In the table below the available acute and chronic ecotoxicity data for all three trophic levels are given for the read-across substance Penta-PSCA:
