Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No experimental data are available for the target substance MDEA-Esterquat C18 satd. However, an acute toxicity study to earthworms is available for the closely related source substance MDEA-Esterquat C16 -18 and C18 unsatd..

In a 14-day acute toxicity study, earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were exposed to MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd. at 0, 2.20, 4.74, 10.2, 22.0, 47.4 mg a.i./kg dry soil (artifical soil). The experiment was carried out according to OECD TG 207. The 14 day LC50 value was determined to be >47.4 mg a.i./kg soil dry weight (nominal). The 14 d EC50 was >47.4 mg a.i./kg dry soil. The 14 d NOEC and LOEC, based on appearance and behaviour was >47.4 mg a.i./kg dry soil. No compound related toxicity effects were noted.
