Additional information

Conclusion on classification

Classification related key information

Biodegradation in water: Readily biodegradable: 76% (CO2 evolution) in 28 days (ISO 14593 Draft)

Bioaccumulation in organisms is negligible, due to biotransformation and excretion of alcohol ethoxylates.

Acute toxicity:

- to Fish: LC50 (96h) = 108 mg/L for Danio rerio

- to Crustacea: EL50 (48h) = 51 mg/L for Daphnia magna

- to Algae: EL50 (72h) > 10 mg/L for Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata

Chronic toxicity:

The risk assessment is based on alcohol ethoxylate specific QSARs

- to Fish: EC20 (30d) = 0.464 mg/L for Pimephales promelas

- to Crustacea: EC20 (21d) = 0.150 mg/L for Daphnia magna

- to Algae: ErC20 (72h) = 0.322 mg/L for Desmodesmus subspicatus

Classification justification according to CLP

Based on the data above, 2-hexyldecan-1-ol ethoxylated (< 2.5 EO) is considered rapidly biodegradable. The acute aquatic toxicity L(E)C50 is > 1 mg/L. Based on QSAR calculations the lowest expected long-term effect value is 0.150 mg/L Therefore, 2-hexyldecan-1-ol ethoxylated (< 2.5 EO) needs to be classified and labelled as environmental hazard Chronic Cat. 3 according to the consolidated version of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and further amendments (ATPs).

M-factor for acute aquatic toxicity: no factor assigned
