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 experimental data are available for ‘propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated’. However, for the structural analogues and constituents mono-, di- and tripropylene glycol data are available. Based on the lowest 48h-EC50 of >100 mg/L (for dipropylene glycol), it can be assumed that the 48h-EC50 for poly‘propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated’ is > 100 mg/L. This is supported by calculations with ECOSAR v1.00 which indicate a 48h-EC50 value in excess of 10000 mg/l for the substance.

Additional information

Monopropylene glycol:

There are several guideline studies available for freshwater invertebrates. The most critical study for is therefore chosen as the key study. For freshwater invertebrates the lowest observed effect concentration is a 48-h LC50 value of 18340 mg/l in Ceriodaphnia dubia (Pillard, 1995).

Dipropylene glycol:

Two GLP compliant short-term toxicity studies with Daphnia magna are available. In a static test a 48-h EC50 of >100 mg/l was determined according to OECD guideline 202 (BASF, 2002) and in a flow-trough test a 48-h EC50 of >109 mg/l was determined according to EPA guideline (Wildlife International, 1995). Furthermore, a calculated effect concentration is available for freshwater invertebrates; 48-h LC50 is 5943 mg/l. The lowest measured value of 100 mg/l is used in the assessment.

Tripropylene glycol:

One non-GLP compliant guideline study (OECD 202) is available for tripropylene glycol. The 24 -h EC50 value is > 1,000 mg/l (nominal concentration) inDaphnia magnain a static test (OECD, 1994). This value is used in the assessment.

QSAR:

A calculation with ECOSAR v1.11 revealed a 48h-EC50 value of 11000 - 12500 mg/l based on modelling the known components and the likely composition.
