Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Substance Class/Read-Across Justification

Butylidenebis [2-Tert-Butyl-5-Methyl-P-Phenylene]-P,P,P`,P`-Tetratridecylbis(phosphine), commercially know as STAB AS-4500 or Doverphos (DP) 479, is a diphosphite that is combination of two alkyl phosphites with a bridging structure called BBMC. The alkyl phosphite portions of this substance are from isotridecyl phosphite (TiTDP) and thus it was determined that this substance can appropriately read-across to (TiTDP) and triisodecyl phosphite (TDP).

Alkyl phosphites are characterized by a phosphorus atom connected to two to three alkyl ester groups (oxygen connected to an alkyl chain). The alkyl groups on TDP are branched,C10, isomers and the alkyl groups on TiTDP are branched, C13, isomers. TDP has an existing OECD 422 study and TiTDP is currently undergoing sub-chronic (90 -day) testing. The NOAELs in this assessment are based on the TDP OECD 422 study (Tyl 2005).

Relationship Between Alkyl Phosphites and Alkyl Alcohols

These alkyl phosphites are manufactured using a class of alkyl alcohols that have been well studied and previously accepted as a category (Long Chain Alcohols Category under the OECD SIDS program; Alkyl Alcohols C6 to C13 Category under the U. S. High Production Volume (HPV) program). The category assessment and associated use of read-across data for these alkyl alcohols is particularly relevant for the alkyl phosphites because these phosphites readily hydrolyze into the associated alcohol used in the manufacture of the phosphite – TDP to isodecanol (C10),  TiTDP to isotridecanol (C13). Given this, it appears appropriate to consider both the category approach that was used to assess the alkyl alcohols under REACH as well as the data on the relevant alcohols as analogs to TiTDP, STAB AS-4500 and the related alkyl phosphites.

Acute DNELs

There were no signs of acute toxicity by either the oral, inhalation or dermal routes. As such, it is not necessary or appropriate to establish acute DNELs.

Long-Term Systemic DNELs

The basis for the long-term systemic DNELs is the NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg/day (top dose) from the Tyl (2005) oral gavage combined repeat-dose and reproductive/developmental study in rats. The inhalation and dermal DNELs were extrapolated from the oral study using standard route-to-route extrapolations and assuming 50% oral and inhalation absorption and 10% dermal absorption.
