Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Additional information

For the assessment of the aquatic toxicity of Fatty acids, montan-wax, stearyl esters (CAS 68308-30-5), short-term and long-term toxicity tests are available for the two trophic levels comprising fish and aquatic algae. Neither short-term (fish and aquatic algae) nor long-term (aquatic algae) toxicity was recorded up to the limit of water solubility. In addition, the toxicity to microorganisms was assessed on the basis of the toxicity control of a standard ready biodegradation study according to OECD 301 F indicating no toxic effects towards activated sludge microorganisms.

In addition to the available data, a long-term test to aquatic invertebrates (OECD 211), as well as a long-term test to fish (OECD 210) has been commissioned based on ECHA communication/decision number TPE-D-2114565572-44-01/F since the substance is poorly soluble (water solubility < 1 mg/L).

This information will be submitted later based on ECHA communication/decision number TPE-D-2114565572-44-01/F. Reasons for this delay are summarized in the statement attached in IUCLID section 13.2 (Timelines for Ecotoxicity (and Associated Analytical Chemistry) Testing of Fatty acids, Montan-Wax, Stearyl Esters (CAS 68308-30-5)).
