Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 bioconcentration potential of trimethylolpropane in fish was tested in

a 6-week flow-through-test according to OECD 305C. The resulting log BCF of lower than 2, BCF < 17 indicates that the potential for bioconcentration in fish is low.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Key study:

The bioconcentration potential of trimethylolpropane in fish was tested on Cyprinus carpio in a 6-week flow-through-test according to OECD 305C. The resulting log BCF of lower than 2, BCF < 17 indicates that the potential for bioconcentration in fish is low.

Reference: MITI, <= 1994

Further studies:

A BCF of 1.48 was calculated on the base of calculated log kow of 2.51. The BCF of -0.84 was calculated on the base of experimental log kow of -1.48.

Reference: Walton & Davis, 1980

The BCF was estimated from the calculated log kow of 0.19 by using the program BCFWIN, v.2.15.
