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.

Description of key information

No toxic effects to aquatic algae up to the limit of water solubility (< 0.05 mg/L).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

One study investigating the toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria of2,2-bis[[(1-oxoisooctadecyl)oxy]methyl]-1,3-propanediyl bis(isooctadecanoate) (CAS 62125-22-8) is available (Craig, 2005). The GLP study was performed according to OECD 201. The green algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was exposed under static conditions to nominal concentration of 100, 180, 320, 560 and 1000 mg/L. The test solution was prepared as WAF (Water Accomodated Fraction) by adding the appropriate amount of test substance with subsequent stirring followed by settling. After the test duration of 72 h an EL50 > 1000 mg/L (nominal) based on growth rate was determined. It can hence be concluded thatthe test substancewill not exhibit effects to aquatic algae up to the limit of water solubility. As it can be seen in the data matrix of the category justification in section 13 and the overall summary, all reliable data in the category support the hazard assessment of each category member by showing a consistent pattern of resultswithin the polyol esters category, no toxiceffects to aquatic algae or other aquatic organisms up to the limit of water solubility.
