EC number: 500-018-3 | CAS number: 9005-64-5 1 - 6.5 moles ethoxylated
PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
The PBT Assessment for Sorbitan monolaurate, ethoxylated (CAS No. 9005-64-5) is based on the criteria set out in the “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.11: PBT Assessment” (ECHA, 2012).
Persistence
Sorbitan monolaurate, ethoxylated (CAS No. 9005-64-5) is readily biodegradable according to OECD 301 F (62.5% (O2 consumption) after 28 d). Thus, Sorbitan monolaurate, ethoxylated does not meet the screening criterion for persistence and is not considered to be P or vP.
Bioaccumulation
Based on the BCF values of 1.2 - 7.1, calculated using the Arnot-Gobas method, including biotransformation (BCFBAF v3.01), a relevant uptake and bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms is not expected for Sorbitan monolaurate, ethoxylated.
Toxicity
No effects occurred in the long-term toxicity test with Daphnia magna (OECD 211) with Sorbitan monolaurate, ethoxylated up to the test concentration of 10 mg/L (NOEC = 10 mg/L). Moreover, Sorbitan monolaurate, ethoxylated is not classified according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. Thus, the criteria set out in Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 are not met and Sorbitan monolaurate, ethoxylated is not considered to meet the T criterion.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
