Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
96h-EC50 > 100 mg/L (nominal)
96h-EC50 > 0.078 mg/L (limit water solubility)
96h-EC50 > 1000 mg/L (saturated solutions, nominal)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The acute toxicity of ethyl 3,5 -dichloro-4 -hexadecyloxycarbonyloxybenzoate (AF-366) to fish was investigated in a study by Adema (1989), using Brachydanio rerio as test species. This test was conducted according to OECD Guideline 203, under GLP conditions. Test concentrations of 1, 10 and 100 mg/L (nominal) were prepared applying a solvent (TBA, 1 mL/L), and 10 fish per concentration were exposed for 96 hours within a semi-static water regime. Additionally, two saturated solutions without vehicle (one filtered and one unfiltered) were included in the experimental set up (1000 mg/L, nominal). Analytical measurements of actual test concentrations were not performed.
After 96 hours, only one fish in the 100 mg/L treatment group was found dead. No further mortality was observed in any of the other groups, neither in control or solvent control. Therefore, the 96-LC50 was determined to be > 100 mg/L (nominal).
Based on the available information is can be stated that AF-366 was not acutely toxic to fish species within the range of its water solubility (≤ 0.078 mg/L).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
