Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. New studies with the registered substance will be conducted in the future. The finalised studies will be included in the technical dossier as soon as they become available and the hazard assessment will be re-evaluated accordingly.

Additional information

The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. New studies with the registered substance will be conducted in the future. The finalised studies will be included in the technical dossier as soon as they become available and the hazard assessment will be re-evaluated accordingly.
The dataset investigating the aquatic toxicity of Esterification products of fatty acids, C18 (unsaturated) alkyl and adipic acid with pentaerythritol is not complete. Thus, in order to fulfil the standard information requirements, in accordance with Annex VIII, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, conduction of a long-term aquatic invertebrate test following OECD 211 is proposed.
All available experimental data on the test substance performed according to internationally accepted guidelines indicate no evidence of acute toxicity to aquatic organisms. Data for one trophic level is available. No toxicity was observed up to the limit of water solubility in all available experimental studies.
The water solubility of the target substance was determined to be < 1 µg/L in solubility pre-tests under test conditions (OECD 201).
The degradation process in commercial sewage treatment plants is not suspected to be inhibited by the target substance. The toxicity control from the biodegradation study indicated that the target substance is not inhibitory to activated sludge microorganisms.
Based on the available results for the test substance it can be concluded that the test substance Esterification products of fatty acids, C18 (unsaturated) alkyl and adipic acid with pentaerythritol exhibits no toxic effects on freshwater organisms up to the limit of the water solubility.
