Description of key information
Fatty acids, C16-18, esters with pentaerythritol (CAS-No. 85116-93-4) is not harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
One study, investigating the short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates of Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., tetraesters with pentaerythritol (CAS-No. 68604-44-4), was used as read across for Fatty acids, C16-18, esters with pentaerythritol (CAS-No. 85116-93-4). This substance is structurally and composition related to Fatty acids, C16-18, esters with pentaerythritol (CAS-No. 85116-93-4). The static study (Wierich, 1998) with Daphnia magna according to EU Method C.2 (Acute Toxicity for Daphnia) showed no immobilisation after 48 h at the tested concentration (100 mg/L). Therefore, the EL0 (48h) was ≥ 100 mg/L and the EL50 (48h) > 100 mg/l. A conclusion by analogue approach has been applied. Based on the analogy it can be concluded that no toxicological effects on aquatic invertebrates are expected for Fatty acids, C16-18, esters with pentaerythritol (CAS-No.85116-93-4). Therefore, the substance is not harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
