Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Regarding aquatic bioaccumulation, the substance is thought to have limited bioaccumulation potential, at least not enough to be classified as a (very) bioaccumulative substance. Using the available QSAR models (e.g.TGD BCF fish, BCFBAF v3.00 in EPISuite 4.0), the predicted BCF values are below 32.1 L/kg wet-wt () (See Chemical Safety Report, section 8). The predicted values are far below the threshold value of 5000 L/kg for a very bioaccumulative substance, and well below the value of 2000 L/kg for bioaccumulative substances.Therefore, further testing is not considered necessary.

This is further endorsed by the potential for bioaccumulation to diminish as log Kow increases above a value of 6. Substances with log Kow between 3 and 6 are considered highly accumulating; however no substantial bioconcentration is assumed for compounds having log Kow with values less than 3 or greater than 6. This correlation has been validated by comparison of published BCF values with the respective calculated log Kow values; the results generally revealing increasing BCF values with increasing log Pow. For compounds having log Kow greater than 6, a gradual decrease of the BCF is observed. It has been hypothesised within the published literature that a high log Kow is more an effect of solubility than a tendency of the substance to be lipophilic.

As the substance is not manufactured in Europe and at formulation or use waste is not disposed of via a waste water treatment plant, but incinerated, the environment is not expected to be exposed.Therefore, further testing is not considered necessary.
