Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No effect up to the limit of the water solubility of the Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers, hydrogenated, 2-ethylhexyl esters is expected. The NOEC is expected to be ≥ water solubility.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

As no tests with Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers, hydrogenated, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS No. 68440-06-2) are available, a read-across approach to the structurally similar Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers, hydrogenated (CAS No. 68783-41-5) was conducted.

During the 28-day long-term toxicity study with the freshwater fishDanio rerio(Marshall, 1994) according to ISO/DIS 10229-1 no effects on the average fish weight at the concentrations tested (0.2 and 1.0 mg/L) were observed and a NOEC of ≥ 0.85 mg/L (measured concentration) was determined. Thus, no effects up to the limit of the water solubility of the tested substance were observed and due to structural similarities with Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers, hydrogenated, 2-ethylhexyl esters and similar water solubilities (< 1 mg/L), it is assumed, that this applies as well.
