Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

The following data for aquatic toxicity and environmental fate are available:

  • Biodegradability: the test item is readily biodegradable
  • Log Kow = 4.56
  • Short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates: 48h-EC50 = 3.7 mg/L
  • Toxicity to aquatic algae: ErC50-72h= 0.28 mg/L & ErC10-72h= 0.023 mg/L
  • Long term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates (read across): 21 d NOEC = 0.45 mg/L
  • Short term toxicity to fish (read across): 96 h LC50 = 8.66 mg/L

Regarding these data,Tert-pentyl 2-ethylperoxyhexanoate should be classified as follows: 

  • According to the Directive 67/548/EC: R50/53
  • According to CLP: acute toxicity category 1 (M-factor = 1) - chronic toxicity category 1 (M-factor = 1)
