Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
The general assessment on bioaccumulation is solely based on aquatic compartment, because a study on terrestrial bioaccumulation is not required for this tonnage band.
A study with high reliability is available for the substance, showing a low bioaccumulation potential (lower than 80 L/Kg).
According to Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.11 (PBT Assessment, May 2008), the test substance does not fulfil the criterion “bioaccumulative (B)” or “very bioaccumulative (vB)”, since the BCF is below 2000 and 5000, respectively.
Additionally, data on aquatic bioaccumulation could even be waived in accordance with column 2 of REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) Annex IX, stating that the bioaccumulation in aquatic species study (required in section 9.3.2) does not need to be conducted as direct and indirect exposure of the aquatic compartment is unlikely. The substance is a monomer manufactured and used industrially in the production of polymers, plastics (thermoplastics), and polymerization processes. At the end of these processes, the monomer is completely transformed into the polymeric matrix and therefore no exposure to the environment is expected from the use of polymerized material.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
