Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to microorganisms is determined to give a 3 h-EC50 > 10.000 mg/L (Bayer, 2002 and Bayer, 2003).  

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Hypothesis for the read-across approach:

Group: Succhrose, propoxylated; Propylidynetrimethanol, propoxylated; Glycerol, propoxylated; D‑Glucitol, propoxylated; Propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated; Pentaerythritol, propoxylated; 2,2',2''‑Nitrilotriethanol, propoxylated; Trimethylolpropane, ethoxylated; Diethylene glycol, propoxylated; Ethylene glycol, propoxylated; Diethanolamine, propoxylated.

The substance is member of a group of chemicals with similar chemical structure and physical behaviour:

1.) Chemical similarity: All of these substances have terminal OH-groups and ether-linkages as common structural features. Thus, the substances differ from each other only in the identity/type of starter molecule (aliphatic alcohols with 2 to 8 hydroxy functions) used and its associated bonding with the alkoxylate repeating units. Typically the products are substances with a range of Ethyleneoxide or Propyleneoxide units (1 -12.5) added to starter molecules. All substances are characterised by a molecular weight distribution of ca. 150 - 1000. The common function of the members of the group is to allocate a high number of hydroxy functions which are intended to react with e. g. an isocyanate.

2.) Physical behaviour: All members of the group are liquids with elevated viscosity, high solubility in water (> 100 g/L) and a low vapour pressure (<10E-04 hPa).
