Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

Data for the definitive conclusion on the PBT or vPvB properties of Fatty acids, C8-10 (even), C14-18 (even) and C16-18 (even)-unsatd., triesters with trimethylolpropane (former CAS 85186-89-6) are not available for all three criteria. Thus, the screening criteria given in the ‘Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment - Chapter R.11: PBT assessment’ (ECHA, 2008) are used as surrogate information to decide whether the substance may potentially fulfil the PBT or vPvB criteria.

Persistence (P) Assessment:

The screening criterion for Persistence (P) is the potential of a substance to be readily biodegradable. As Fatty acids, C8-10 (even), C14-18 (even) and C16-18 (even)-unsatd., triesters with trimethylolpropane (former CAS 85186-89-6) is readily biodegradable, the substance is not fulfilling the criteria for persistence and is thus not “P” and not “vP”.

Bioaccumulation (B) Assessment:

An evaluation of the bioaccumulation potential of Fatty acids, C8-10 (even), C14-18 (even) and C16-18 (even)-unsatd., triesters with trimethylolpropane (former CAS 85186-89-6) is presented in IUCLID chapter 5.3 and chapter 4.3 in the Chemical Safety Report (CSR) indicating that bioaccumulation is expected to be low due to a calculated BCF of 0.89 - 0.91 L/kg wet weight (Arnot-Gobas). Thus, the substance does not meet the Bioaccumulative (B) or very Bioaccumulative (vB) criteria and can therefore considered not to be bioaccumulative.

Toxicity (T) Assessment:

Long-term toxicity testing with Daphnia magna resulted in a NOELR (15 d) of ≥ 2570 mg/L (nom.). Furthermore, Fatty acids, C8-10 (even), C14-18 (even) and C16-18 (even)-unsatd., triesters with trimethylolpropane (former CAS 85186-89-6) shows no acute toxicity on all three trophic levels (fish, aquatic invertebrates, algae) in the range of water solubility. The test substance is not classified according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (2nd ATP). Therefore, of Fatty acids, C8-10 (even), C14-18 (even) and C16-18 (even)-unsatd., triesters with trimethylolpropane (former CAS 85186-89-6) does not meet the T criterion set out in Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006.

Conclusion

In conclusion the substance is not considered to meet the criteria to be classified as PBT or vPvB based on the available data.
