Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Two acute toxicity to fish studies are available.
In the first study, the acute toxicity to fish was determined in a study according to "testing methods for industrial wastewater (71 of JIS K 0102-1998)". In this study fish (O. latipes, 10 per concentration) were exposed to nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 1.43, 2.57, 4.63, 8.33, and 15 mg/L for 96 hours under semi-static conditions (test medium renewal each 8 -16 hours). No analytical confirmation of nominal test concentrations was performed. Fish mortality was recorded after 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours exposure. Mortality was first seen at a concentration of 4.63 mg/L at which a cumulative mortality of 10% was noted. At a test concentration of 8.33 mg/L cumulative mortality was 50%. Finally, in the 15 mg/L test group all fish had died within 24-h after exposure. Based on these findings the 96 -h LC50 value was determined at 8.33 mg/L.
In the second study, the acute toxicity to fish was determined in a study according to OECD 203 and in compliance with GLP criteria. In this study fish (O. latipes, 8 per concentration) were exposed to nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 0.988, 2.96, 4.44, 6.67, 10, 15 mg/L for 96 hours under semi-static conditions (test medium renewal each 24 hours). Analytical confirmation of nominal test concentrations showed all test concentrations remained well within ±20% of nominal concentrations throughout the test. Effect values are therefore expressed as nominal. Fish mortality was recorded after 3, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours exposure. No mortality was observed up to and including 6.67 mg/L. At a test concentration of 10 mg/L cumulative mortality was 12.5%. Finally, in the 15 mg/L test group all fish had died within 48-h after exposure. Based on these findings the 96 -h LC50 value was determined at 11.6 mg/L.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
