Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Conclusion on classification

The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. New studies with the registered substance and/or other member substances of the glycol esters category will be conducted in the future. The finalised studies will be included in the technical dossier as soon as they become available and the hazard assessment will be re-evaluated accordingly.

For further details, please refer to the category concept document attached to the category object (linked under IUCLID section 0.2) showing an overview of the strategy for all substances within the glycol esters category.

Degradation

Biodegradation: Readily biodegradable (63% degradation after 28 d, OECD 301 F)

Bioaccumulation: not assessed

Aquatic acute toxicity

Fish: LC50 (96 h) of > 0.3 mg/L (nominal, O. mykiss), read-across

Aquatic invertebrates: EL50 (48h) >100 mg/L (nominal, D. magna)

Aquatic algae: EC50 (72 h) > 100 mg/L (nominal, S. subspicatus), read-across

Aquatic chronic toxicity

Fish: no data available

Aquatic invertebrates: no data available

Aquatic algae: EC10 (72 h) = 34 mg/L (nominal, D. subspicatus), read-across

CLP

Fatty acids, tall-oil, esters with ethylene glycol (CAS 68187-85-9) is readily biodegradable. No toxic effects towards aquatic freshwater organisms are expected up to the limit of water solubility. All acute effect values are above the highest attainable test concentration. The EC10 for aquatic algae is above the water solubility of the test substance. Therefore fatty acids, tall-oil, esters with ethylene glycol (CAS 68187-85-9) does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazardous according to the consolidated version of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and further amendments (ATPs).
