Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

For the preparation of the test media no solvent has been used. For the algae test (where the highest test concentrations were used), it was explicitly stated that the tested product (39% active ingredient) was water soluble and that no solvent was needed.

The fact that the tested product also contains other substances may explain why the test concentrations in the test media are above the water solubility stated for the main constituent (15 mg/l). In view of the explicit remark that the test substance was water soluble, the fact that the 15 mg/l limit is exceeded is not expected to impact the reliability of the test results.

The long-term aquatic toxicity was tested on fish and invertebrates. The results are summarised in the table:
