Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Related composition:
2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropentyl methacrylate (OFPMA)

Justification:

OFPMA is considered to be vP. It will eventually degrade and has the potential to release polyfluoroalkyl degradation products, including pentanoic acid, 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-, which is expected to be analogous to the short-chain perfluorinated carboxylic acid perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPeA). PFPeA is a globally distributed pollutant and is expected to be recalcitrant in the environment, potentially expected to undergo long range transport while mainly staying in the water column. In water, it is expected to be very persistent and will not hydrolyse, photolyse or biodegrade under environmental conditions (NICNAS, 2016 a, b).

 

OFPMA is not B nor vB. Based on the result of a partition coefficient study, OFPMA is not considered to be bioaccumulative as the Log P is 3.03. OFPMA will eventually degrade and has the potential to release polyfluoroalkyl degradation products, including pentanoic acid, 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoro-. The short-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids, including PFPeA, have been assessed to have low bioaccumulation potential based on the currently available information (NICNAS, 2016a, b).

 

OFPMA is not T. Based on available testing, OFPMA is not a long-term marine/freshwater toxicant, is not a mutagen, or reproductive hazard, and there is no evidence of chronic toxicity.
