Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on test solutions:
PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Water accommodated fraction (WAFs)
Test material was added to 21 L of water and stirred for 48 hours. The stir rate was set to form a slight dimple at the water surface. After stirring, the mixture was allowed to stand for 4 hours. A wide bore glass tube, covered at one end with Parafilm was submerged into the vessel, sealed end down, to a depth of approximately 5 cm from the bottom of the vessel. The aqueous phase or WAF was removed by mid-depth siphoning to give the necessary loading rates.

- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): Microscopic inspection of the WAFs showed no micro-dispersions or undissolved test material

Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
Oncorhynchus mykiss (previous name: Salmo gairdneri)
Details on test organisms:
TEST ORGANISM
