Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Due to the low solubility and complex nature of the test item, media for investigations of short-term aquatic toxicity were prepared as a Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs). Given that the toxicity cannot be attributed to a single component or a mixture of components, but to the test item as a whole, results were based on nominal loading rate.

Conclusion on classification

The test item is not classified as acutely toxic to the environment because the lowest EL50 value (determined for algal growth rate) was > 1 mg/L. However, the substance is not readily biodegradable, has been determined to be slightly soluble (16.1 mg/L) and Log Kow was reported as ≥ 4 for cationic and anionic constituents. These data potentially indicate concern for the environment and, since long-term toxicity data are available for only one trophic level (algae), aquatic toxicity results were assessed in terms of substances for which adequate chronic toxicity data are available and substances for which adequate chronic toxicity data are not available. The most stringent classification outcome was then applied. Based on the EL50 value of 1.8 mg/L determined for algal growth rate, classification as Aquatic Chronic 2 is applicable when the result is compared to criteria given by Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (2nd ATP; 10 March 2011) for non-rapidly biodegradable substances for which adequate toxicity data are not available.
