Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
bioaccumulation in aquatic species: fish
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
1. SOFTWARE: BCFBAF module of the EPIWIN programme and Toxicity estimation software tool (TEST)

2. MODEL (incl. version number): BCFBAF v.3.01 and TEST version 4.2.1

3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL: Cc1cc(cc(c1OCC2CO2)C)Cc3cc(c(c(c3)C)OCC4CO4)C

6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
The QSAR results are prepared to highlight the low bioaccumulation potential of the main constituent 2-[[4-[[3,5-dimethyl-4-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl]methyl]-2,6-dimethyl-phenoxy]methyl]oxirane (present at 65-80% in the reaction mass).

The remaining two constituents have a much greater molecular weight than the one selected, and accordingly are both outside the applicability domain of the QSAR models utilised. However, the worst case constituent in terms of its potential for bioavailability based on its relatively low molecular weight, is suitable for QSAR assessment and the maximum BCF range obtained (446.7) is lower than the EU CLP cut-off criteria (< 500), indicating low bioaccumulation potential. The results of both QSAR tools also indicate that the BCF value as < 2000 indicating that B and vB criteria are not relevant for the reaction mass based on the most conservative constituent.

The substance also has a low Log Kow value (< 4.5), indicating the reaction mass has a low potential for bioaccumulation.
