Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The product C.I. Pigment Green 50 (without and including its impurity Ni titanate) is with high probability acutely not harmful to fish.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The results of a semi-static exposure test on Oryzias latipes as accomplished by MOE (2001) and a static exposure test on Leuciscus idus conducted by BASF AG (1988) indicate that C.I. Pigment Yellow 53 and thus, P.I Pigment Green 50 itself has no toxic effects in the range of its water solubility.

Furthermore, the acute reference values of 120 and 68 µg Ni/L for pH 6.0 and 8.0 are well above of the Ni concentration after two different loading rats of P.I Pigment Green 50 (including the impurity Ni titanate): The concentrations were 3 and 40 µg Ni/L at pH 5.5 and < 1 and 17 µg Ni/L at pH 8.5 at loadings of 1 and 100 mg P.I Pigment Green 50/L, respectively.

Therefore, with a high probability the impurity Ni titanate is acutely not harmful to aquatic organisms.

For details regarding the concentrations of Ni after different P. I Pigment Green 50 loading rates according to the T/D Protocol (OECD 29) please see document attached in chapter 1.4. The Ecotoxicity Reference Values (ERVs) were taken from a document of the Nickel Consortia, 2010: Environmental Read-across approach.
