Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The test substance does not significantly accumulate inorganisms.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The pKa for the test substance was calculated to be 3.79 using SPARC (v4.6). This value indicates that the test substance will exist primarily as an anion in the environment (pH 4 to 9).The partitioning coefficient for the charged molecule at pH 7 was estimated to be below three (logD = 1.9). In accordance with Annex IX column 2 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, the study on bioaccumulation does not need to be conducted if the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (e.g. logKow < 3).
Additionally, it is known that charged molecules do not pass cell membranes as easy as their neutral counterpart. Thus, leading to a decreased potential of bioaccumulation.
However, four QSAR calculations were conducted to investigate the potential of bioaccumulation more in detail. All calculations show clearly a low potential for bioaccumulation, even though, some of the calculations use a calculated (overestimated) logPow from the uncharged molecule.
US EPA T.E.S.T v4.0.1 using the consensus method resulted in a BCF of 23.63.
US EPA EPISuite v4.10 (BCF BAF v3.01) revealed a BCF of 10 L/kg wet-wt including the fact that the test substance is charged.
CATALOGIC v5.11.5 (BCF base-line model v2.05) resulted in a BCF of 56.7 with all mitigating factors applied. The test substance is within the applicability domain of the model. The structural domain was correct with 95 % (unknown 5 %).
VEGA BCF model (CAESAR) version 2.1.8 resulted in a predicted BCF of 123 L/kg. However the test substance could be out of the model applicability domain. Nevertheless, the results can be used in the weight of evidence to give an indication if the test substance has a bioaccumulative potential.
In overall conclusion, these results indicate that the test item has only a low potential to accumulate in aquatic organisms and clearly failing the PBT cut off of 2000.
Therefore, a test on bioaccumulation is not provided.
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).
