Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Due to the molecular size and weight of the substance and a QSAR calculation, significant accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
ECHA’s guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment chapter R.11 states, that an average maximum diameter of greater than 1.7 nm plus a molecular weight of greater than 1100 indicates that the substance is expected to be not bioaccumulative
The substance has a molecular weight of 2285.68 which significantly exceeds the threshold level of 1100 stated in ECHA's guidance document R.11. Moreover, the max. internuclear distance of the substance was determined to be 2.98 nm (CHEMSKETCH Version 10.02 (ACD/Labs, 2006)) which is significantly greater than 1.7 nm.
Both results are clear barriers to uptake. It is assumed, that the substance massively disturbs the entire interior structure of the lipid bilayer of the cell membranes and therefore does not accumulate to a significant amount.
The structure is too big to be estimated in the QSAR models and it consists of 4 identical structural subunits. Therefore, half of the molcular structure (2 subunits) was assessed with the BCF base-line model of Cataklogic (v. 209, July 2017). For half the the molcule a BCF of 7.4 - 9.1 was calculated with and without correction factors like water solubility. The DiamMax Average is 25.375. Therefore, it can be concluded that structures with at least 2 subunits of this type have no significant bioaccumulation potential due to their size.
Additionally, a QSAR calculation using US EPA's T.E.S.T. was conducted, which resulted in a BCF value of 3.25.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
