Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Aquatic PNECs were derived using the equation that underlies the PETROTOX model and the soil and sediment PNECs were calculated using the equilibrium partitioning method.

Conclusion on classification

The lowest acute data point is a 48 hour EC50 of 4.4mg/L forDaphnia magnaread across from hexene. On the basis of this result hex-1-ene would be classified as “R51/R53 toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment” under the DSD Directive, as although hex-1-ene is readily biodegradable it has a log Kow >3. However, hex-1-ene would not be classified under the EU CLP Regulations as it is readily biodegradable and has a log Kow <4.
