Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

One key study is available for each of the following endpoints:

 

Aquatic invertebrates acute

 

The acute toxicity (inhibition of mobility) of the test item tert-pentyl 2-ethylperoxyhexanoate to aquatic invertebrates for a duration of 48 hours was assessed according to the OECD Guideline 202 and GLP requirements. Daphnia magna were exposed under static conditions: 48h-EC50= 3.7 mg/L 

 

Aquatic invertebrates chronic

In the 21-day semi-static chronic toxicity test (OECD 211) to Daphnia magna performed on the closely related substance tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate (3006-82-4) the 21-day NOEC value based on reproduction was determined to be 0.45 mg/L.

Algae

 

The determination of the growth inhibition of the freshwater algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata exposed to the test item tert-pentyl 2-ethylperoxyhexanoate for a duration of 72 hours was assessed according to the OECD Guideline 201: ErC50-72h= 0.28 mg/L & ErC10-72h= 0.023 mg/L (based on growth rate)

  

Microorganisms

 

The toxicity of TERT-AMYL PEROXY-2-ETHYLHEXANOATE to microorganism was estimated in a study performed according to OECD 209 guideline and GLP requirements.EC50 for the test item was determined to be higher than the highest tested concentration: EC50 > 1000 mg/L

 

Fish - Acute

 The closely related substance tert.-Butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoat was tested for acute toxicity to fish according to EU-method C.1 (1984) and OECD guideline 203 (1984). In this 96-hour semi-static acute toxicity test with Poecilia reticulata (guppy) the LC50 value was 8.66 mg/L. This is supported by an FET study on 686-31-7 indicating that a fish LC50 would be expected in the range 1-10 mg/L.
