Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

As the criteria for ready biodegradation are not fulfilled (despite the indications for a - at least limited - biodegradability), the substances are considerer to fulfil the P (not vP) criterion. Neither biophysical (log Pow, molecular size) nor toxicokinetic criteria (potential for metabolism) are compatible with a potential for bioaccumulation and as the members of the Montan waxes category are neither toxic nor ecotoxic, they are regarded as

• P (not vP)

• Not B

• Not T.

In conclusion, the members of the Montan waxes category show neither PBT nor vPvB characteristics.

Likely routes of exposure:

Exposure considerations not required as the substance is not PBT / vPvB.
