Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
TexFRon AG (ALUMINUM AMMONIUM SUPERPHOSPHATE; AlASP):
A 48-HOUR STATIC-RENEWAL ACUTE TOXICITY TEST
WITH THE CLADOCERAN (Daphnia magna)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Fresh water invertebrates
Fresh water invertebrates
- Effect concentration:
- 17 mg/L
Additional information
Daphnia in the negative control group appeared normal throughout the test. All daphnids in the 1.5 and 3.2 mg/L treatment groups also appeared normal throughout the test, with no immobility or overt signs of toxicity observed. All other daphnids in the TexFRon AG treatment groups survived to test end. However, sublethal effects (i.e. lethargy) were observed in 7, 16 and 7 daphnids in the 5.8, 11 and 17 mg/L treatment groups, respectively. Since the sublethal effect noted in these groups did not follow a dose response pattern, the effect noted was likely due to the presence of precipitate in the test chambers that resulted in a physical disturbance to the organisms.
The cladoceran, Daphnia magna, was exposed for 48 hours under static-renewal conditions to five mean measured concentrations of TexFRon AG ranging from 1.5 to 17 mg/L. The 48-hour EC50 value was greater than 17 mg/L, the highest concentration tested. Daphnids exposed to TexFRon AG at concentrations ≤3.2 mg/L appeared normal with no immobility or overt signs of sublethal effect.
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.
