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

Additional information

Ecotoxicological data for hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, zinc salt, basic are available for acute toxicity to the three trophic levels of aquatic organisms. A GLP-conform study (Klimisch 2) for the effect of hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, zinc salt, basic on the growth rate of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, according to the OECD 201 guideline, resulted in the lowest L(E)C50 value (ErC50=2.72 mg/L; Cheshire EcoSolutions, 2013). The highest sensitivity of algae for hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, zinc salt, basic agrees with the high sensitivity of algae for Zn. No chronic toxicity data are available for the effect of hexanoic acid, 2-ethyl-, zinc salt, basic to aquatic organisms and a read-across approach is followed to toxicity data for the dissolved Zn-ion and for 2 -ethyl hexanoic acid.
