Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Vat Indigo Potassium Salt is instable in an aqueous phase at neutral pH or as solid material on air and oxidises rapidly to indigo (EC number 207-586-9). Hence we refer to the Risk Assessment in the indigo registration (REACH registration number 01-2119488933-22-0000).

 

The following discussion is taken from the Ecotoxicological Summary of the Lead Dossier for indigo: Indigo was not toxic in aquatic studies at the limit of solubility, hence it is not possible to derive PNECs for water. All effects seen in studies which were conducted with co-solvents lie above the limit of water solubility. Even though these studies were disregarded due to deficits in study conduct and/or deficient information in the reports, as a worst case assessment the 1/100th of the water solubility as reported in the OECD SIDS document was used for comparison with predicted environmental concentrations.

Conclusion on classification

According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the test substance is not classified for environmeltal hazards.

It is not stable in water or air an oxidises rapidly to indigo. No adverse environmental or ecotoxicological effects were seen with indigo and the substance lacks any bioaccumulation potential.
