Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Alcohols, C13-15-branched and linear
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

PERSISTENCE


The substance is considered as readily biodegradable according to an OECD 301 study and according to degradation modelling of its constituents and may therefore considered to be “not P/vP”.


 


BIOACCUMULATION


The substance has a log Kow of ≥4.5. As no experimentally determined BCF is available, the substance must be assessed as “vB (and B)” based on the log Kow alone. However, the substance is considered unlikely to be B/vB as its different C13 and C15 components are rapidly degradable and long-chain alcohols are generally known to be very efficiently biotransformed. Estimated BCF values range from ca. 500 to 1000 L/kg based on a QSAR that takes into account biotransformation (Arnot-Gobas).


 


TOXICITY


For the substance a long-term 72-h EL10 value of >100 mg/L was determined in aquatic algae. Further, there is no evidence of CMR properties or chronic toxicity as specified in REACH Annex XIII. Therefore, the substance is assessed to be “not T”.
