Description of key information
No acute toxicity of Fatty acid, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters up to the limit of water solubility.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Two studies are available for Fatty acid, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., 2-ethylhexyl esters on short-term toxicity to fish. The selected key study was conducted with Danio rerio according to OECD 203 with nominal concentrations of 1000, 3000 and 10000 mg/L (Richterich 2001). The test substance was mixed into the dilution water by ultraturrax without further preparation. No effects were observed up to the highest test concentration and an LC50(96h) > 10000 mg/L could be stated.
In a supporting study with Danio rerio, also according to OECD 203, as limit test, an LC50(96h) >100 mg/L was reported (Van der Kerken 1995).
In another read-across from Fatty acids, C8 -16, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 135800-37-2), the marine species Scopthalmus maximus was tested with a WAF, resulting in a nominal LL50(96h) value > 5600 mg/L (Hudson 2002).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
