Transcription

1 Perlastan L-30 and Eco-Labeling Chemical Name: Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Sodium Salt Glycine, N-methyl-N-(1-oxododecyl)-, sodium salt N-methyl-N-(1-oxododecyl)glycine, sodium salt CTFA/INCI name: Registration: CAS Registry Number: EINECS No.: Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate We hereby confirm that Schill + Seilacher Aktiengesellschaft Schoeaicher Strasse 205 D Boeblingen is the raw material manufacturer of PERLASTAN L-30. Product manufacturers applying to include the EU Flower and Nordic Swan Ecolabel symbol on packaging need to proof that different requirements imposed on the classification of substances have to be fulfilled. PERLASTAN L-30 fulfils all requirements as surfactant ingredient for Shampoo, conditioner, body shampoo, liquid and solid soap Cosmetic Products Cleaning Products Laundry Detergents and Stain Removers Laundry Detergents for Professional Use Dishwasher Detergents Chemical Building Products Industrial Cleaning and Degreasing Agents

2 A) We refer to Detergents Ingredients Database for Eco-Labelling [Ref. 1] DID-list Number 16 (Lauroyl Sarcosinate) whereas PERLASTAN L-30 belongs by chemical definition to the sodium salt of listed ingredient name.the database is used by consumer product manufacturers applying to include the EU Flower and Nordic Swan Ecolabel symbol on packaging. Parameter Values published on the DID-list are: Acute Toxicity LC50/EC50 (mg/l): 50 Safety Factor (SF): Toxicity factor (TF): Chronic toxicity NOEC: no data available Safety Factor (SF): no data available Toxicity factor (TF): no data available Degradation Degradation Factor (DF): 0.05, readily degradable Aerobic biodegradability: R, readily biodegradable Anaerobic biodegradability: Y, anaerobically biodegradable i.e. tested and found biodegradable or not tested but demonstrated through analogy considerations etc.

3 B) We refer to the Work-Report of the Danish Environmental Protection Agency Miljøstyrelsen [Ref 2] which also confirms that Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (PERLASTAN L-30) is considered to be relatively unproblematic [Ref 2, page 13] for the environment in respect to Eco-Label criteria. Ecological-Data [ref. 2 page 45] are summarized as follows: Akute Toxicity: EC50/LC50 (mg/l) no data Algae Crustaceans Fish Aerobic degradable Yes OECD 301 A-F Anaerobic degradable Yes ISO Biological concentration factor (BCF) No data OECD 305 A-E Bioaccumulation Octanol/water <3 Not bioaccumulative OECD 107/OECD 117 partition coefficient (Log Pow) Environmental Score 1 Miljøstyrelsen Note: Substances assigned environmental score 1 considered to be relatively unproblematic for the environment. These substances are usually readily biodegradable and are not expected to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. The aquatic toxicity, expressed as the concentration resulting in a power / mortality of 50% of test populationen (EC/LC50) is greater than 1 mg / l. Alternatively, the substances to be slowly biodegradable and / or bioaccumulative, but has a very low acute toxicity with EC/LC50-value greater than 100 mg / l, and thus not expected to cause adverse effects in the aquatic environment. [Ref 2, page 13]

4 Anaerobic degradability test results of Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate [Ref. 2, Page 71] are as follows: Test method: ISO Substance: Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate Concentration of test: 17.3 mg C / l Test substance dissolved in: Water Time (days) Anaerobic biodegradation (%ThIC) Standard deviation (%ThIC) * 0 0, (after acidification) ThIC: Theoretical Maximum Inorganic Carbon Production (complete biodegradation of test substance) * 4 replicates 120 Biodegradability, Anaerobic (%ThIC) Days Result: 82% biodegradation anaerobically within days [Ref. 2, page 29]

5 C) Ecological information of MSDS [Ref 3, 12] Aquatic Toxicity: EC50/3h >1000 mg/l (activated sludge) EC50/48h = 29,7 mg/l (Daphnia magna) EC50/96h = 107 mg/l (Brachydanio rerio) Degree of elimination: >80% (28d, OECD 301 F) Readily Biodegradable Boeblingen, 8 th of May 2009 Schill+Seilacher Aktiengesellschaft Dr. Martin Husmann Product Manager Personal Care, Household and I&I References: [1] Nordic Eco-Labeling, Detergents Ingredients Database, Part A, List of Ingredients 2007 [2] Miljøministeriet, Substitution af overflade aktive stoffer i kosmetiske produkter, Gitte I.
