Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

An invertebrate long-term study on Daphnia is available, but the short-term study on Daphnia was chosen to derive the PNEC (fresh), PNEC (marine) and PNEC (intermittent); this is because the short-term Daphnia study did not have the lowest L(E)C50; The most sensitive trophic level (algae) was chosen as the basis of the calculation. The EC50 of 180 mg/L was adjusted by a correction factor of 1000 as suggested by ECHA guidance to give the PNEC.

In regards to the PNEC for sediments no endpoint studies were performed using sediment organisms and the PNEC (sed) could not be derived using the partition coefficient method described in "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessments Part B: Hazard Assessment" (ECHA) as the substance is inorganic and therefore the octanol-water partition coefficient could not be measured. The PNEC (soil) were not derived because the Cordierite is not likely to partition with organic matter.

Conclusion on classification

No chronic ecotoxicology tests were performed on the substance. The most sensitive acute toxicity test was found to be the acute toxicity to algae, which gave an EC50 of 180 mg/l. The substance is not classified as hazardous to the aquatic environment, based on EU CLP criteria.
