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

NOEC (28d) >= 100 mg/L (nominal, loading rate) for growth rate of Gobiocypris rarus (OECD 215, read across)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Since no study assessing the long-term toxicity of Reaction mass of bis(2-propylheptyl) hexanedioate and O6-[2,2-bis[[6-oxo-6-(2-propylheptoxy)hexanoyl]oxymethyl]butyl] O1-(2-propylheptyl) hexanedioate to fish is available, in accordance to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 Grouping of substances, a read-across to the source substance Bis(2-propylheptyl) adipate (940-510-9, DPHA) was conducted. The read across is justified since DPHA is the main constituent (80%) of the target substance. The high molecular weight (> 900 g/mole) and log Pow (> 10) of the TMP ester constituent indicate a much lower toxicity of this constituent compared to DPHA. Thus, the study result for the source substance is considered to adequately cover the aquatic toxicity of the whole multi-constituent substance.

The long-term toxicity of the source substance Bis(2-propylheptyl) hexanedioate to freshwater fish was performed according to GLP and OECD guideline 215 using Gobiocypris rarus as test organism (BASF 2015). A 100 mg/L loading rate was tested as limit test. All validity criteria are fulfilled. No growth rate inhibition was observed in the treatment compared to the control. Thus, the 28d-NOEC value is determined to be >= 100 mg/L based on nominal concentration. Based on this result Reaction mass of bis(2-propylheptyl) hexanedioate and O6-[2,2-bis[[6-oxo-6-(2-propylheptoxy)hexanoyl]oxymethyl]butyl] O1-(2-propylheptyl) hexanedioate is considered to be not harmful to fish at chronic exposure.
