Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The EC50 based on both cell number decrease and growth rate was >1000 mg/l and it is therefore concluded that Santicizer 278 is non-toxic to algae. Due its structure and properties Santicizer 261A would be expected to give similar results and is therefore considered to be non-toxic to algae at its limit of solubility based on read-across.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

There is no reliable experimental data available for this endpoint for Santicizer 261A.

A study was available which used the structurally comparable phthalate Santicizer 278 (Hollister, 1979) and so was selected as key Study for this endpoint.  The 96-hour EC50 based on both cell number decrease and growth rate was >1000 mg/l. This far exceeds the solubility of the test compound (0.0015 mg/l at 25°C) and it is therefore concluded that Santicizer 278 is non-toxic to algae. The similarity of Santicizer 278 to Santicizer 261A® means it is appropriate to read across from Santicizer 278 for this endpoint to Santicizer 261A®, and toxicity to algae would therefore not be expected. 

Santicizer 261A is therefore considered to be non-toxic to algae at its limit of solubility based on read-across.
