Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

Classification related key information

Log Kow: 5 to > 10 (KOWWIN v1.68)

Water solubility: < 0.05 mg/L (EU Method A.6)

Biodegradation: 60 - 63 % in 28 days (OECD 301B)

BCF: < 17 L/kg (BCFBAF v3.01 - Arnot-Gobas estimate and experimental data) 

Aquatic acute toxicity:

For fish: 96h, LC50 (C. carpio): LL50 = 39 mg/L (OECD 203)

For algae: 72h, ErL50 (P. subcapitata): > 100 mg/L (OECD 201)

For crustacea: no data

Aquatic chronic toxicity:

For fish: not data

For algae: 72h, NOErL (P. subcapitata) = 10 mg/L (OECD 201)

For crustacea: 21d, NOEC (D. magna) = 5.8 mg/L (OECD 211)

 

Non-Classification justification according to CLP

Based on the data above, Multi constituent ester of pentaerythritol 2-ethylhexanoate is considered rapidly degradable. The acute aquatic toxicity L(E)C50 values are above the solubility of the substance in water for fish, algae and daphnia. Valid chronic toxicity data are available for algae and Daphnia – showing that the NOEC values are above the solubility of the substance in water. Therefore, Multi constituent ester of pentaerythritol 2-ethylhexanoate does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazard according to the Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (CLP) and the Regulation (EU) No. 286/2011 (2nd ATP).

 

Non-Classification justification according to DSD

Based on the data above, Multi constituent ester of pentaerythritol 2-ethylhexanoate is rapidly degradable and is considered to have a low potential for accumulation. The acute aquatic toxicity L(E)C50 is above the solubility of the substance in water for fish, algae and daphnia. Therefore, Multi constituent ester of pentaerythritol 2-ethylhexanoate does not need to be classified and labelled as environmental hazard according to Directive 67/548/EEC.
