Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Acute studies are available for toxicity to fish,Daphniaandalgae a for fatty acids, tall oil, oligomeric reaction products, with maleic anhydride and rosin, calcium, magnesium, zinc salts. All studies were conducted using Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs) and in all studies the LL or EL50 was determined to be >100 mg/L, the highest concentration tested.

Conclusion on classification

The EL50 values from acute ecotoxicity studies are all > 100 mg/L, therefore no acute classification is assigned to the substance fatty acids, tall oil, oligomeric reaction products, with maleic anhydride and rosin, calcium, magnesium, zinc salts.

 

A chronic environmental classification is not assigned based the acute ecotoxicity results. As this substance is poorly soluble a Chronic Category 4 classification could be appropriate under CLP regulations. However, this substance has a log Kow <4 and achieved >60% degradation after 28 days in a biodegradation study. Although the 10-day window criterion was not met in the biodegradation study, as this substance is a complex UVCB the 10-day window criterion can be waived and therefore this substance is considered to be readily biodegradable. A Chronic Category 4 classification is not therefore considered to be appropriate for this substance Fatty acids, tall oil, oligomeric reaction products, with maleic anhydride and rosin, calcium, magnesium, zinc salts is not classified for the environment.
