Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The toxicity of ethyl 3,5 -dichloro-4 -hexadecyloxycarbonyloxybenzoate (AF-366) to aquatic microorganisms was investigated by Caspers (2003). This test was conducted according to EU Method C11, under GLP conditions. Activated sludge collected from a domestic sewage treatment plant was exposed to test concentrations of 100, 1000 and 10000 mg/L (nominal) for 3 hours. Additionally, a physico-chemical oxygen consumption control was applied at 10000 mg/L (nominal). A positive control (3,5-dichlorophenol) was used in order to validate the test conditions. Analytical measurements of the actual test substance concentrations were not performed.
The results from the physico-chemical control showed that no O2-consumption is expected only due to chemical reactivity. Respiration inhibition was observed in all treatment groups, with values ranging from 9.5% (100 mg/L, nominal) to 14.3% (10000 mg/L, nominal). However, these values were not significantly different from those found in the controls and the 3h-EC50 was determined to be > 10000 mg/L (nominal).
Based on this information and the toxicity control results from the biodegradation test conducted by Hanstveit and Hemmink (1989, > 25% biodegradation within 14 days) it can be concluded that AF-366 does not have an inhibitory effect on the activity of aquatic microorganisms 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.
