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

Aquatic toxicity studies with barium 3,5,5-trimetylhexanoate are not available.Read-across to the assessment entities soluble barium substances and trimethylhexanoic acid (and its structural analogue neodecanoic acid) is applied for the assessment of barium 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate since the ions of barium 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate determine its fate and toxicity in the environment. Based on measured total Ba-levels in the water column, a 96-h LC50 of > 97.5 mg Ba/L (corresponding to > 3.5 mg dissolved Ba/L) is reported for fish whereas the 96-h LL50 is > 100 mg/L neodecanoic acid (structural analogue of trimethylhexanoic acid) for O. mykiss. This is supported by QSAR-based estimations for trimethylhexanoic acid. According to the QSAR-based outcome of the model ECOSAR v.2.0, trimethylhexanoic acid has also a low potential for acute toxicity since the 48-h LC50 was estimated with 81.4 mg/L for freshwater fish.
