Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Formaldehyde, reaction products with ethylenediamine did not result a dangerous substance for aquatic organisms in the short-term studies performed. The lowest eco-toxicity value, the EC50of 5.3 mg/L based on algal yield, does not involve neither an acute hazard for the aquatic environment, nor a long-term risk, because of the rapid degradation of the substance and of its low bioaccumulation potential.

Conclusion on classification

According to Regulation 1272/2008/EC, formaldehyde, reaction products with ethylenediamine is classified neither for Aquatic Toxicity class nor for the hazard to the ozone layer.
