Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Aquatic PNECs were derived using the PETROTOX model and the soil and sediment PNECs were calculated using the equilibrium partitioning method.

Conclusion on classification

The acute ecotoxicity tests report that the EL and LL50 are above the WAF tested. This indicates that acute effects are not observed even at loading concentrations far in excess of the water solubility of the test substance. Poorly water soluble substances which do not exert acute toxicity at their limit of solubility may require a precautionary classification of R53 "May cause long term advserse effects in the aquatic environment" under the DSD and Chronic Category 4 under the CLP Regulations. However, this is not required for alkenes C16 - 18 as it is readily biodegradable.
