Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Aluminium tri-isopropanolate dissociates instantaneously when exposed to water forming isopropanol and aluminium(III) species. Therefore the effects of both hydrolysis products are considered most relevant to assess the toxicity of aluminium tri-isopropanolate. Isopropanol is rapidly biodegradable and of low toxicity ( LC/EC50 values ≥ 100 mg/L). For aluminium species acute and long-term studies at three trophic levels are available. The LC50 for acute toxicity in fish has been set at 0.078 mg Al/L based on a weight of evidence approach. In a study on eggs of the brook trout the NOEC for incomplete hatching was 57 µg/L (as total Al). In daphnia magna the lowest EC50 reported was 3.9 mg Al/L. In a long-term daphnia study no effects were found at 1.1 mg Al/L at pH 7.61. The NOEC for growth rate in fresh water species Monoraphidium dybowskii and Stichococcus sp. is is 0.04 mg/L. In salt water micro algae the EC10 for growth rate was 18 µg/L.

The EC50 in pseudomonas putida is 165 mg/L as Al.

Additional information

The lowest NOEC has to be chosen as starting point for the derivation of the PNEC. This value comes from the studies on algae and is 40 µg/L for fresh water and 18 µg/L for marine water.

The WHO limit for good quality surface water (Al < 1.6 ug/L at pH 6.5) (WHO http://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/resourcesquality/wpcchap2.pdf ) is very close to the PNEC that can be derived based on the data in this dossier and will therefore used as PNEC in a worst case approach.
