Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 toxicity of the substance has been measured experimentally with freshwater algae.  Due to the extremely low water solubility all studies have been conducted using Water Accomodated Fractions and completed as limit tests.  

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
1 000 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
1 000 mg/L

Additional information

The EC50 in freshwater algae is considered to be >1000mg/l. Two of the studies available support this conclusion, while the one remaining study did not exceed 100 mg/l, although the data support the conclusion that the EC50 is above this dose level. As this dose level has been included in the other studies conducted, it is considered acceptable to consider this as supporting data but to conclude that the highest dose level attained from studies considered reliable is both appropriate and adequately supported by the data.

The substance is, therefore, considered not toxic to algae. Nevertheless, adequate controls will be in place during production and use to ensure that the substance is not released to the environment.

The toxicity of the substance has not been assessed using marine algal species, but it is considered likely to be similar to freshwater species.
