Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PNEC calculation is done based on the acute data from the registered substance only as a worst case. Nevertheless, data with the hydrolysis product methacrylic acid and the structurally related methyl methacrylate together with the ready biodegradability of the registered substance show the lack of any adverse toxic chronic effects.

PNEC calculation PNEC freshwater sediment:

K_(susp-water) = 5.55 m3/m3

RHO_(susp) = 1150 kg/m3

Conversion factor (wwt -> dwt): 4.6  

PNEC_freshwater sediment = (K_(susp-water)/ RHO_(susp))*PNEC_water * 1000

= (5.55/1150)* 0.013 *1000

= 0.06 mg/kg wwt

= 0.28 mg/kg dwt  

 

PNEC marine water sediment:

K_(susp-water) = 5.55 m3/m3

RHO_(susp) = 1150 kg/m3

Conversion factor (wwt -> dwt): 4.6  

PNEC_marine water sediment = (K_(susp-water)/ RHO_(susp))*PNEC_marine water* 1000

= (5.55/1150)* 0.0013 * 1000

= 0.006 mg/kg wwt

= 0.028 mg/kg dwt  

 

PNEC soil:

K_(soil-water) = 5.78 m3/m3

RHO_(soil) = 1700 kg/m3

Conversion factor (wwt -> dwt): 1.13  

PNEC_soil = (K_(soil-water)/ RHO_(soil))*PNEC_water * 1000

= (5.78/1700)* 0.013 * 1000

= 0.04 mg/kg wwt

= 0.048 mg/kg dwt

Conclusion on classification

Aquatic acute toxicity

Algae: 72 h, ErC50: 12.5 mg/L (nominal)

Fish: 96 h, LC50: 590 mg/L (nominal)

Daphnia magna: 48 h, EC50 growth rate: 33.9 mg/L (measured)

 

Aquatic chronic toxicity

Fish: 35 d, NOEC: 9.4 mg/L (measured, read-across substance)

Daphnia magna : 21 d, NOEC (reproduction): 37 mg/L (measured, read-across substance)

 

 

Biodegradation: readily biodegradable

Partition coefficient: log Pow = 3.13 at 25°C 

 

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. The test substance was found to be readily biodegradable. Algae represent the most sensitive species among the three trophic levels in aquatic toxicity testing, with an ErC50 of 12.5 mg/L and an ErC10 of 5.49 mg/L. Based on these results, the substance is neither classified as aquatic acute toxicity nor classified as aquatic chronic according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) as amended for the tenth time in Commission Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
