Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Hexyl D-glucoside (CAS: 54549-24-5) is not harmful to sediment organisms under conditions tested.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The toxicity of hexyl D-glucoside (CAS: 54549-24-5) towards sediment organisms was investigated in one short-term study with the endobenthic marine amphipod Corophium volutator (Andersen, 2003). The study was performed according to the “OSPARCOM guideline (1995): Sediment bioassay using an amphipod Corophium sp.”. At test termination after 10 days a LC50 of > 1547 mg/kg dw and a NOEC of 698 mg/kg sediment dw resulted (Andersen, 2003). In conclusion hexyl D-glucoside is not harmful to sediment organisms under conditions tested. Long-term data should not be generated because of the low log Koc (0.7 - 1.7) and the ready biodegradability of the test substance.
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.
