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

The toxicity of the test substance to aquatic algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus) was

tested in a static limit test according to OECD guideline 201. During 72 hours exposure an ErC50 of >100 mg/L was measured.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
100 mg/L

Additional information

"shoudl read: >100 mg/L"

All aquatic tests were performed using the test substance diluted in an 8 : 17 mixture of 1-methoxy-2-propyl acetate (CAS: 108-65-6) and solvent naphtha 100 (CAS: 64742-95-6), respectively. The test solution consisted to 75 % of the test item and to 25 % of the 1-methoxy-2-propyl acetate/solvent naphtha mixture. As the test substance is only marketed in the above described composition, these tests can be used for the evaluation of the environmental risks of the substance. The results further display a worst case as the test substance is almost insoluble in water and will therefore not be available in large amounts (if at all) in aquatic test systems. As a conclusion the aquatic toxicity studies with the test substance diluted in organic solvents can be used as a worst case describing the toxicological behaviour of the test substance against aquatic organisms.
