Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Data on the acute toxicity of Fatty acids, C8-10, triesters with trimethylolpropane (CAS 91050-89-4) to aquatic invertebrates are not available. The evaluation of short-term to aquatic invertebrates refers to the structural analogue category member Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate (CAS 11138-60-6) as part of a read across approach. The read across is suitable due to the similar fatty acid chain length of both substances. This is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. Grouping of substance and read across approach. Further justification is given within the endpoint summary 6.1 and within the analogue justification section 13. The study on the short term toxicity of the read-across substance Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate (CAS 11138-60-6) was conducted according to OECD guideline 202 as a limit test (Häner, 2007). Daphnia magna were exposed to the test substance in a static test system for 48 hours. The test solution was prepared by using the water accommodated fraction of the test substance. At test termination an EL 50 > 100 mg/L (loading rate) was determined.
Based on the results from structurally related read-across substance (in accordance to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5) which is characterized by a similar ecotoxicological profile, acute toxic effects of Fatty acids, C8-10, triesters with trimethylolpropane (CAS 91050-89-4) to aquatic invertebrates are not expected.As it can be seen in the data matrix of the category justification in section 13 and the overall endpoint summary IUCLID 6.1, all reliable data in the category support the hazard assessment of each category member by showing a consistent pattern of results, i.e. no toxic effects to aquatic organisms were observed up to the limit of water solubility.
