Description of key information

Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate (CAS-No. 11138-60-6) is not harmful to fish. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Two semi-static studies, investigating the short-term toxicity to freshwater fish of Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate (CAS-No. 11138-60-6), were available. The key study (Kuttler, 1998) with Brachydanio rerio (Danio rerio) according to OECD 203 determined LL50 (96 h) > 10000 mg/L (WAF loading rate). In the supporting study (Källqvist and Tobiesen, 1995) with Salmo trutta according to OECD 203 the EC50 (96 h) is > 1000 mg/L and the LOEC > 1000 mg/L. As at the two highest concentrations (320 and 1000 mg/L) a small amount of emulsion and some increase in turbidity was observed, the highest concentration (1000 mg/L) demonstrated a worst case. In both studies no mortality was observed within the water solubility of the test substance under conditions tested. Therefore, it can be concluded that no toxicological effects on fish are expected up to the water solubility for Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate (CAS-No. 11138-60-6).
