Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No experimental data are available for SF6. Using validated QSAR models from ECOSAR™ v0.99 (U.S. EPA, 2001), the 96-h LC50 in freshwater fish is 236 mg/L, the 48-h LC50 in daphnids is 247 mg/L and the 96-h EC50 in green algae is 151 mg/L. All calculated effect concentrations are higher than the water solubility. No data are available for micro-organisms, but emission to waste water is not expected.

Conclusion on classification

Short-term toxicity EC/LC50 values for SF6 for three trophic levels are between 151 mg/L and 247 mg/L and therefore SF6 should not be classified according to the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
