Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The PNEC values were determined for the substance itself by application of methods provided in ECHA Guidance Chapter R.10 (May 2008).

Conclusion on classification

The substance is an organometallic substance which contains zinc moiety. It is slightly soluble in water.

The short-term toxicity of the registered substance to aquatic organisms was investigated according to OECD TG and compliant with GLP. The following toxicity values are available for the substance:

Fish Acute: 96h-LC50 = 2.06 mg/L

Aquatic invertebrates: 48h-EC50 = 8.7 mg/L

Algae: 72h-ErC50 = 0.24 mg/L

The lowest acute aquatic toxicity values based on available data ranges between 0.1 and 1.0 mg/L. The long-term toxicity of registered substance to aquatic organisms was not investigated. Thus, there are no adequate chronic toxicity data available.

The degradation of the substance was investigated according to OECD Guidelines:

A reliable study carried out according to OECD Guideline 301B and GLP compliant is available on registered substance. Under the conditions of this study, the registered substance was found readily biodegradable (99% of biodegradation at Day 28 based on CO2 evolution). Therefore, the substance is considered as rapidly degradable in aquatic system.

Information on bioaccumulation potential of the submission substance:

No fish BCF is available. Experimental Log Kow is below 3.0 which a low potential for bioaccumulation.

CLP Classification proposal

It is proposed to compare submission substance dataset to CLP environmental criteria laid down in CLP Regulation (including 2nd Adaptation to Technical Progress, Com Reg No 286/2011).

Acute aquatic hazard: Category 1. Reasoning: lowest E(L) C50 between 0.1 and 1.0 mg/L.

Chronic aquatic hazard: Not classified. Reasoning: no long term toxicity data available, readily soluble and rapidly degradable with Log Kow < 3.

DSD Classification proposal

N; R50. Reasoning: lowest acute E(L) C50 value range between 0.1 and 1.0 mg/L, readily biodegradable substance with Log Kow < 3.
