Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

Brief description of the data relevant for classification

Degradation

Biodegradation: Readily biodegradable: 82% in 28 d (CO2 evolution, OECD 301 B)

Bioaccumulation

Expert statement: Bioaccumulation is expected to be low.

 

Aquatic acute toxicity

For fish: LC50 (96 h) 13 mg/L (nominal)

For aquatic invertebrates: EC50 (48 h) 420 mg/L (nominal)

For algae/aquatic plants:  ErC50 (72 h) 37.6 mg/L (measured arithmetic mean)

 

Aquatic chronic toxicity

For fish: no data available

For aquatic invertebrates: no data available

For algae/aquatic plant: ErC10 (72 h) 13.3 mg/L (measured arithmetic mean)

 

Conclusion on classification

Based on the data above, Bis(2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethyl) adipate (CAS 141-17-3) is considered to be rapidly degradable and has a low potential for bioaccumulation. The acute aquatic toxicity L(E)C50 values are > 1 mg/L for fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae. Chronic toxicity data are available for algae with an ErC10 (72 h) of 13.3 mg/L. Thus, the substance does not need to be classified and labelled for aquatic toxicity according to the consolidated version of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and all further amendments (ATPs).
