Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

An acute Daphnia test with Reaction mass of 2-butylheptanoic acid and 2-ethylnonanoic acid and 2-methyldecanoic acid and 2-propyloctanoic acid is not available. The short-term toxicity of the similar substance Reaction mass of n-undecanoic-acid and 2-methyl-decanoic-acid and 2-ethyl-nonanoic-acid and 2-propyl-octanoic-acid and 2-butyl-heptanoic-acid was assessed in a static 48h acute study in Daphnia magna according to OECD guideline 202. The result of a 48h-EC50 of 16 mg/L (95% CL 13 -19 mg/L) can be considered reliable without restrictions.

Additional information

An acute Daphnia test with Reaction mass of 2-butylheptanoic acid and 2-ethylnonanoic acid and 2-methyldecanoic acid and 2-propyloctanoic acid is not available.

Acute toxicity in Daphnia magna with the similar substance Reaction mass of n-undecanoic-acid and 2-methyl-decanoic-acid and 2-ethyl-nonanoic-acid and 2-propyl-octanoic-acid and 2-butyl-heptanoic-acid was tested according to OECD guideline No. 202. The study met the acceptability criteria and was conducted GLP compliant, therefore considered reliable without restrictions. The 48h-EC50 was 16 mg/L based on average exposure concentrations (95% confidence interval between 13 and 19 mg/L).

In a supporting study (Daphnia magna, OECD 202, GLP compliant) with the analogue 2-butyloctanoic acid the 48h-EC50 was 31 mg/l (95% confidence interval between 22 and 42 mg/l), thus confirming the range of toxicity to invertebrates found with Reaction mass of n-undecanoic-acid and 2-methyl-decanoic-acid and 2-ethyl-nonanoic-acid and 2-propyl-octanoic-acid and 2-butyl-heptanoic-acid.
