Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A bioaccumulation study in fish was conducted according to OECD Guideline 305 C on BPS. The speciesCyprinus carpiowere exposed to the test substance over a period of 6 weeks at test concentrations of 50 and 500 µg/L, in a flow through system.

The BCF for the test substance was measured to be very low (< 0.2 and < 2.2 at test concentrations of 500 and 50 µg/L). Thus, a bioaccumulation of the test substance to aquatic organisms is not expected.1 2

The low concern for bioaccumulation was based on two experimental BCF values.3

No data are available for 2,4'-sulfonyldiphenol CAS 5397-34-2.

No data are also available on benzenesulfonic acid, 4-hydroxy-, sodium salt (1:1), CAS 825-90-1.

In principle, the salts of aromatic sulphonic acids called hydrotropes, that can be considered for a read across, get dissociated when in contact with water, to form the acids again. The aromatic sulphonic acids are soluble in water and are neither sorptive, nor volatile, nor bioaccumulative.4

Furthermore, BCF measured on the hydrotrope, sodium p-toluen sulphonate was found to be less than 2.3.5

 As a conclusion, the DCB 58% is considered as not bioaccumulative.
