Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
November 1st, 2007 - July 09th, 2008

Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Analytical purity: 82.3%
- Purity test date: Not available
- Lot/batch No.: GN-8
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: Not available
- Appearance: Amber coloured, extremely viscous liquid
- Storage: In the dark at room temperature
- Additional information on test material used for the study: It was attempted to purify the substance to a purity of >80% by using an alternative synthetic route, as opposed to the usual commercial route of synthesis which results in a purity of the substance of approximately 40% in water. This alternative synthetic route generated the substance at 82.3% purity, however it also generated an impurity (methanol at 4.0%) which is not present in the commercial substance. Based on the classification and labelling of methanol, it is considered that this additional impurity would not have an influence on any of the endpoints discussed in this dossier other than the acute oral toxicity study. Therefore all studies (including the one covering this endpoint) contained in this dossier (other than the acute oral toxicity study) were conducted on the 82.3% pure substance containing the 4.0% methanol impurity. The acute oral toxicity study has been conducted on the commercially generated substance at a purity of approximately 40% in water.
