Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In a key static 48-hour short-term Daphnia magna toxicity test (OECD 202; KS = 2), 10 animals/loading were exposed to the Water Accommodated Fraction of an other lubricant base oil, MVI(N) 40 base oil (CAS # 64742-53-6 or 64741-97-5), at nominal concentrations of 0, 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000 mg/L. The EL50 was >10,000 mg/L based on mobility and the NOEL was ≥ 1000 mg/L (Shell, 1988). 

 

In a key semi-static 96-hour short-term freshwater shrimp (Gammarus pulex) toxicity test (OECD 202; KS = 2), 10 animals/loading were exposed to the WAF of an other lubricant base oil, MVI(N) 40 base oil (CAS # 64742-53-6 or 64741-97-5), at nominal concentrations 0, 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000 mg/L. The LL50 was >10,000 mg/L and the NOEL was ≥ 10,000 mg/L (Shell, 1988).

 

These studies are scientifically sound and satisfy the guideline requirements for short-term invertebrate tests.
