Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment

Administrative data

PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

Due to the differences in the physicochemical characteristics of the components of the reaction mass of 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenol and 2,6 -bis(1- phenylethyl)phenol, the components will not behave as a single compound. Significant variation is expected in the environmental fate and behaviour of these compounds. Therefore, the PBT assessment will address the constituents individually.

TSP

TSP was found to be not PBT and not vPvB based on the following findings:

- Persistene: a biodegradation test in 4 different soils yielded DT50 values of 3.13 to 12.5 days at 12°C. Hence, TSP is not persistent nor very persistent in soil.

- Bioaccumulation: Two bioaccumulation studies yielded kinetic, 5% lipid content BCF values of 2682 - 2706 L/kg ww, and a growth-corrected, kinetic, 5% lipid content BCF value of 3972 L/kg ww. Hence, TSP is bioaccumulative but not very bioaccumulative.

DSP

DSP was found to be not PBT and not vPvB based on the following findings:

- Persistence: DSP is found to be not readily biodegradable.

- Bioaccumulation: In a fish dietary bioaccumulation test with a mixture of TSP and DSP, a rapid depuration of DSP was observed. Hence, DSP is not bioaccumulative nor very bioaccumulative.

MSP:

Based on the determination of the log Kow of 4 -MSP and 2 -MSP (log Kow < 4.5) , MSP has no potential for bioaccumulation.

Likely routes of exposure:

The reaction mass is manufactured and used under striclty controlled conditions. Therefore, there is no likely route of exposure to the reaction mass.
