Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A comparison of existing and acute chronic data across (spanning several classes: dialkyl peroxides, diacyl peroxides, peroxymonocarbonates, hydroperoxides, ketone peroxides, peroxydicarbonates, peroxyketals and peroxyesters) was made for several organic peroxides belonging to the consortium, and this is summarised in position paper attached in IUCLID Section 13.

 

The results were as follows:

Acute to chronic ratios, based on comparison of acute data with EC10 values

Algae: 3.2

Daphnia: 5.3

Fish: 1.9

 

Based on the acute data, a species sensitivity analysis indicated that algae are almost always the most sensitive species or as sensitive for short term studies to organic peroxides.

As an outcome of this analysis, the following was concluded:

Fish are generally the least sensitive species, thus where fish data are absent, hazard asssessment can be performed based on algae and Daphnia data only.

Conclusion on classification

Acute classification

The existing acute data for algae and Daphnia show a NOEC value > maximum water solubility limit.100 mg/L (loading)]. Fish are assumed to be the least sensitive organism based on the conclusions of the attached position paper "OP Consortium PP_Acute to Chronic Ratio.pdf" As all effect values are above 1 mg/L,there is no acute classification for this substance

Chronic classification

Di-tert-butyl 1,1,4,4-tetramethyltetramethylene diperoxide is not readily biodegradable, and the measured log Kow is 7.34. The only chronic data available are for Daphnia and algae where the NOEC values are greater than maximum water solubility. When chronic data for less than 3 trophic levels are available the classification is assessed using both the existing chronic and acute data, and the most stringent outcome is chosen.

Based on chronic data: (Daphnia and algae, NOEC > maximum water solubility): No classification

Based on acute data (NOECs > maximum water solubility): No classification

Category chronic 4 evaluation- Substance is poorly water soluble, with no acute toxicity recorded up to the water solubility, is not rapidly degradable and the log Kow > 4. However the chronic toxicity NOEC > water solubility and 1 mg/L , thus it does not fit into this category

Most stringent outcome:None

Overall classification: None
