Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006"General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", Information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met.

Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint”.

Since the group concept is applied to the members of the TMP esters group, data will be generated from a representative category member to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the group concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.

 

Degradation

Biodegradation: readily biodegradable (> 76% after 28 d; OECD 301B); read across

Bioaccumulation

Expert statement: Bioaccumulation is assumed to be low.

Aquatic acute toxicity

No observed toxicological effects up to the limit of water solubility (< 0.05 mg/L)

Fish: Brachydanio rerio LC50 (96 h): > 10000 mg/L (OECD 203)

Aquatic invertebrates: Daphnia magna EL50 (48 h): > 100 mg/L (OECD 202)

Algae: Desmodesmus subspicatus EL50 (72 h): > 100 mg/L (OECD 201)

Aquatic chronic toxicity

For fish: no data available
For aquatic invertebrates: no effects up to the limit of water solubility (read across)

NOTE: Although chronic toxicity data is available for members within the polyol esters category in accordance to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex IX 9.1 Aquatic toxicity, we plan a read across to a proposed test on the long term toxicity of CAS 85005-23-8 in order to confirm that no chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms occurs for polyol esters with saturated and branched C16/C18. As soon as this data is available the hazard and chemical safety assessment will be updated.

For algae/aquatic plant: no data available

CLP: Fatty acids, C16-18 even numbered and C18-unsatd. triesters with propylidynetrimethanol (CAS 57675-44-2) is readily biodegradable and has a low potential to bioaccumulate. The substance is considered to be not acutely toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates or algae since not toxic effects were observed up to the limit of water solubility (< 0.05 mg/L). Data on chronic toxicity indicate no toxicological effects up to the limit of water solubility. Therefore, fatty acids, C16-18 even numbered and C18-unsatd. triesters with propylidynetrimethanol (CAS 57675-44-2) does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazardous according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and the Regulation (EU) No 286/2011 (2nd ATP).

DSD: Fatty acids, C16-18 even numbered and C18-unsatd. triesters with propylidynetrimethanol (CAS 57675-44-2) is readily biodegradable and has a low potential to bioaccumulate. The substance is poorly soluble in water and no effects occurred up to the water solubility limit (< 1 mg/L) in acute tests for fish, algae and aquatic invertebrates. Therefore, fatty acids, C16-18 even numbered and C18-unsatd. triesters with propylidynetrimethanol (CAS 57675-44-2) does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazardous according to Directive 67/548/EEC.
