Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

Classification related key information

Biodegradation in water: Readily biodegradable

Bioaccumulation: Alcohol ethoxylates are not expected to bioaccumulate due to a rapid biotransformation and excretion.

Acute toxicity:

- fish: LC50 (96h): 1.19 mg/L (TWM, OECD 203)

- aquatic invertebrates: EC50 (48h): 0.238 mg/L (TWM, OECD 202)

- algae: ErC50 (72h) = 0.179 mg/L (meas. geometric mean, OECD 201)

 

 Chronic toxicity:

- fish: EC10 (28d): 0.328 mg/L (AE specific QSAR)

- aquatic invertebrates: NOEC (21 d): 0.0123 mg/L (TWM, OECD 211)

- algae: ErC10 (72h): 0.0994 mg/L (meas. geometric mean, OECD 201)

Classification justification according to CLP

Alcohols, C12-13, branched and linear, ethoxylated is rapidly biodegradable and has a low potential for bioaccumulate. Based on the data above Alcohols, C12-13, branched and linear, ethoxylated needs to be classified and labelled as Acute Cat 1 (H400) and Chronic Cat. 2 (H411) for environmental hazards according to the consolidated version of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and further amendments (ATPs).
