Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Behenyl Bottoms are characterised as Alcohols, C18-22, distillation residues. In accordance with REACH Annex X, the requirement for an avian toxicity study is waived on the basis of the absence of toxicity to mammals. In addition, the substance is unlikely to accumulate through the food chain.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Behenyl Bottoms are characterised as Alcohols, C18 -22, distillation residues and the requirement for long-term avian testing is waived in view of the lack of toxic effects in mammals. Evidence presented in this dossier demonstrates the low toxicity to mammals, for example, Kuhn (2009) reported LD50 in rats to be >2,000 mg/kg and in a reproduction study by Szucs (2010) a NOEL of 1,000 mg/kg/day in rats was reported. Additional evidence in the OECD SIDS report (2006) of long chain alcohols reported low toxicity in chronic and sub-chronic mammalian toxicity studies. Using these combined experimental and published evidence it is assumed that the test substance is not considered to be toxic (in PBT terms) to mammals and secondary poisoning is unlikely to occur in the environment. No avian toxicity data were available.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
