Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Data available show that PWH/ammonium and PWH/sodium saltsare similar. The two substances are different only in the salification, in fact the paraffinic chain with one sulphonic group, three Cl atoms is always in common.

For the ecotoxicological information, the read across between PWH/ammonium and PWH/sodium salt is valid.

The read across justification is attached on section 13 of the dossier.

Conclusion on classification

According to Regulation EC 1272/2008 and related amendment II EC 286/2011, the substance has to be classified for acute aquatic toxicity if 96 hr LC50 (for fish)≤ 1 mg/l and/or 48 hr EC50 (for crustacea)≤ 1 mg/l and/or 72 or 96 hr ErC50 (for algae or other aquatic plants) ≤ 1 mg/l. Since EC50 daphnia = 44.9 mg/l the substance has not to be classified for acute aquatic toxicity. Adequate chronic toxicity data are not available, but Category Chronic 1 is not warrated because the substance is rapidly degradable and the log Kow<< 4
