Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The information gathered indicates that 2,4,4-trimethylpentene is of low toxicity to environmental receptors. In the PBT assessment, none of the studies evaluated exceed the acute LC50 toxicity (T) screening criteria of <0.1 mg/L. A further evaluation of the data on the basis of the available NOECs indicates that the criteria in Annex XIII of <0.01 mg/L for toxicity to aquatic organisms (fresh and marine) is not exceeded in the invertebrate study which reported a NOEC of 0.16 mg/L. These values indicate that the toxicity criteria stipulated in Annex XIII would not be met. Therefore, 2,4,4-trimethylpentene is not considered to be T on the basis of the environmental screening criterion and there is evidence that the criterion stipulated in Annex XIII is also not met.

Conclusion on classification

The most conservative values reported are 0.149 mg/L for long-term toxicity to fish and 0.16mg/L for the 21 day NOEC for chronic toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. This would result in a category 1 acute and chronic hazard to the environment with hazard statement 'very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects' in the classification and labeling assessment. The M factor would be 1.
