Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Acute immobilisation in Daphnia has been investigated in a 48 hour test according to OECD test methods and using dissolution/dispersion agents to increase concentration of the substance in the test medium. The EC50 (48h) was determined to be >180 mg/L and the NOEC was 180 mg/L, the highest concentration investigated.

Algal growth inhibition has been investigated in a 72 hour test according to OECD test methods and using dissolution/dispersion agents to increase concentration of the substance in the test medium. The EC50 (72h) was determined to be >100 mg/L and the NOEC was 100 mg/L, the highest concentration examined.

Acute toxicity to fish has been investigated in a 96 hour test according to OECD test methods and using dissolution/dispersion agents to increase concentration of the substance in the test medium. The LC50 (96h) was determined to be >100 mg/L.

Chronic toxicity to Daphnia has been investigated in a 21 -day reproduction test 48 hour test according to OECD test methods and using dissolution/dispersion agents to increase concentration of the substance in the test medium. The NOEC (21 -day, reproduction) was 55.6 mg/L; LOEC (21 -day, reproduction) was >100 mg/L and the EC50 (21 -day, reproduction) was 89.1 mg/L. A second chronic Daphnia study has been conducted according to ASTM/EPA test methods, again using dissolution/dispersion agents to increase concentration of the substance in the test medium. The following values were calculated: NOEC (21 -day, reproduction): 0.082 mg/L; LOEC (21 -day, reproduction): >0.082 mg/L; EC50 (21 -day, reproduction): >0.082 mg/L. These lower values compared with the first study reflect the achieved concentrations of the substance in the test media, this influenced by the agents used to achieve dissolution/dispersion.

Toxicity to fish has been investigated in 14 day test according to OECD test methods using dissolution/dispersion agents to increase concentration of the substance in the test medium. The 14 day NOEC was determined to be 75.0 mg/L. It is recognised that the duration of the OECD TG 204 test is shorter than that currently accepted for investigating long-term toxicity in fish. Waiving of repeat or additional testing is proposed based both on the lack of effects seen in the 14 -day fish study and chronic Daphnia reproduction studies together with considerations regarding adequate justification for the use of vertebrate species for experimental purposes.
