Description of key information

Pigment additive Kr 1789 Stck. Ber. 100% (CAS 85650-96-0):  There is a high probability that the product is not acutely harmful to aquatic invertebrates.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The Pigment additive Kr 1789 Stck. Ber. 100% (CAS 85650-96-0) is composed of Copper phthalocyanine monosulfonic acid (CAS 28901-96-4) and oleylamine (CAS 112-90-3).

The key study on acute toxicity of the target item Pigment additive Kr 1789 to Daphnia magna has been conducted according to OECD 202 following a semi-static test system setup (BASF SE 2017). At test termination after 48 h an "Effective Loading Rate" > 100 mg/L (nominal) was determined. No effects were observed up to the highest loading rate.

For the constituents Copper phthalocyanine monosulfonic acid (CAS 28901-96-4) and oleylamine (CAS 112-90-3) supporting studies are available.

For the pigment compound Copper phthalocyanine monosulfonic acid (CAS 28901-96-4) the assessment is based on toxicity data on Daphnia magna, as well as on read-across data for the structural analogous substance copper phthalocyanine (CAS 147-14-8). Daphnids (Daphnia magna) were exposed in a GLP guideline study according to OECD 202 for 48 hours. The effect of CAS 59160-79-1 on the swimming behavior was investigated; 48-h EC50 value of > 100 mg/l (nominal) were determined (ibacon, 2015). Supporting this, the structural analogue CAS 147-14-8 was investigated in several studies regarding toxicity in aquatic invertebrates. One study comparable to OECD TG 202 revealed an EC50 > 500 mg/L (BASF AG 1989). BASF AG (2001) showed EC 50 > 100 mg/L in a screening study according EED Directive 93/32/EWG. Finally, a screening test according to EEC Directive 93/32/EEC confirmed these findings with an EC50 > 100 mg/L (nominal; BASF AG 2004).

In summary, Copper phthalocyanine (CAS 147-14-8) is concluded to be with high probability not harmful to aquatic invertebrates.

 

Further supporting study on the toxicity of oleylamine (CAS 112 -90 -3) to aquatic invertebrates was assessed in a study according to OECD TG 202 under static conditions. Daphnia magna was used as test species. The test concentrations were analytically verified. A 48 -h EC50 was determined to be 0.011 mg/L (nominal; Mark et al., 1995).

It can be concluded that oleylamine is acutely very toxic to aquatic invertebrates.

In conclusion Pigment additive Kr 1789 is not acutely harmful for aquatic invertebrates.
