Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A QSAR model (BCFBAF; Klimisch 2) predicts a bioconcentration factor of 1655 L/kg wet-wt, and whole-body biotransformation rate estimate (HLN) 0.43 d for fish.  The third model was not reliable (Klimisch 3).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
1 655 L/kg ww

Additional information

BCF was estimated by EPISuite v 4.11 (BCFBAF v. 3.01).

The following estimates can be considered as reliable with restrictions (Klimisch 2):

The BCF regression model estimate for the bioconcentration factor was 1655 L/kg wet-wt based on log P.

The whole-body primary biotransformation half-life rate estimate (HLN) for fish was 0.43 d ("normalized” for a 10 g fish at 15ºC).

The results are used as weight of evidence in PBT assessment.

The Arnot-Gobas model was rated as not reliable (Klimisch 3) due to lack of method and validation details.

The BCF estimate for the upper trophic tier was 18.78 L/kg wet-wt (including biotransformation) and 5480 L/kg wet-wt (assuming a biotransformation rate of zero).

Conclusion: A QSAR model (BCFBAF) estimates a bioconcentration factor of 1655 L/kg wet-wt, and whole-body biotransformation rate estimate (HLN) 0.43 d for fish. Biotransfromation is expected to occur instead of bioaccumulation.
