Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Assessment factors for aquatic PNECs taken from ECHA "Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.10: Characterisation of dose [concentration]-response for environment", May 2008. Default values used for a substance for which there is acute toxicity data for three trophic levels, but for which long-term toxicity data are not available.
Conclusion on classification
On the basis of the available acute ecotoxicological data it was noted that fish were the most sensitive species, with a 96 -hour LC50 value of 4.3 mg/L. According to the CLP Regulation (Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, as adapted for technical and scientific progress by Regulations (EC) 286/2011 and (EU) 2016/918), BTP does not meet the classification criteria for an acute (short-term) aquatic hazard.
BTP was found not to degrade in the water compartment by either biotic (biodegradation) or abiotic (hydrolysis) routes. The calculated Henry's law constant (H) for BTP is 14350 Pa.m^3/mol; on the basis that H is greater than 100 Pa.m^3/mol it is expected that more than 50% of the substance will be lost from the water phase between 3 and 4 hours, i.e. BTP will partition extensively to air and will not persist within the aquatic environment. In the air / atmospheric compartment BTP is expected to react with gas phase OH radicals and degrade abiotically (refer to Journal of Geophysical Research, vol 116, 2011); the calculated atmospheric lifetime for latitudes relevant to use within Europe (30°N to 60°N) is 7.0 days and as such BTP is expected not to persist within the environment.
On this basis the substance is not considered to meet the criteria for classification as a chronic hazard to the aquatic environment.
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.
