Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 environmental hazard assessment was conducted based on the available data of the registered substance.The following key information from aquatic invertebrates, fish, algae and microorganisms studies have been used to evaluate the aquatic toxicity of the target substance:

Toxicity to algae (Desmodesmus subspicatus): 72 h EC50: 13 mg/l (growth rate) (OECD 201, GLP)

Toxicity to invertebrates (Daphnia magna): 48h EC50: >100 mg/l (immobility), (OECD 202, GLP)

Toxicity to fish (Cyprinus carpio): 96h LC50 16 mg/l (mortality); (OECD 203, GLP)

Toxicity to microorganisms (toxicity results of OECD 301B) : NOEC 21 mg/l.

Fatty acids, C18 -unsatd, phosphates (PFA) is an complex UVCB substance composed mainly of alkylphosphonate, phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated fatty acids. A method was developed to determine the solubility of these major components since these components are the most soluble and interesting for the toxicity studies. Based on the study results on daphnids, fish and algae determined for the registered substance, no toxicity occurred up to the maximum test concentrations of 100 mg/l (daphnids), 16 mg/l (fish) and 13 mg/l (algae). The results were based on nominal test concentrations. No reliable long-term studies are available for aquatic invertebrates, fish and algae.

PNEC values were derived from studies conducted with the test substancein accordance with the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.10”.
