Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Since no data for Alcohols, C16-18 (even numbered) and C18 unsaturated, propoxylated, < 2.5 PO (CAS 70955-07-6) are available, the acute toxicity towards aquatic invertebrates is assessed on the basis of data from studies with two similar substances (iso-stearyl-ethoxylate, 2 EO, CAS 52292-17-8 and alkyl alcohol ethoxylate propoxylate C10 - 16, CAS 69227-22-1).

The key information derived from a study with iso-stearyl-ethoxylate (CAS 52292-17-8), which investigated the toxicity on Daphnia magna according to OECD guideline 202 and GLP (Wierich, 2000). The test conducted under static conditions and results in an EL50 of 51 mg/L. In the supporting study with alkyl alcohol ethoxylate propoxylate (CAS 69227-22-1) the toxicity on the marine Copepod Acartia tonsa was investigated in the framework of a harmonised ring test according to ISO/PARCOM guideline under GLP conditions (Hudson, 1998). A maximum response of 33% at 1000 mg/L is reported, thus the LL50 is > 1000 mg/L.
