US GreenFiber LLC
Numerical measures of toxicity (such as acute toxicity): None. This product is a mixture.
NEWSPRINT (Cellulose Fiber):
• Ecotoxicity: Biodegrades slowly in water (half-life range 1 month – 1 yr in freshwater and coastal
seawater).
• Persistence and degradability: Not available
• Bioaccumulative potential: Not available
• Mobility in soil: Not available
• Other adverse effects (such as hazardous to the ozone layer): None Known
BORIC ACID:
• Ecotoxicity: Based on the acute data for freshwater species, boric acid is not classified as hazardous
to the environment.
• Persistence and degradability: Biodegradation is not an applicable endpoint since boric acid is an
inorganic substance.
• Bioaccumulative potential: This product will undergo hydrolysis in water to form undissociated boric
acid. Boric acid will not biomagnify through the food chain. Octanol/Water partition coefficient: Log P
ow
= -0.7570 @ 25°C
• Mobility in soil: Boric acid is soluble in water and is leachable through normal soil. Adsorption to soils
or sediments is insignificant.
• Other adverse effects (such as hazardous to the ozone layer): None known
SODIUM TETRABORATE PENTAHYDRATE:
• Ecotoxicity: Based on the acute data for freshwater species, sodium tetraborate pentahydrate is not
classified as hazardous to the environment.
• Persistence and degradability: Biodegradation is not an applicable endpoint since the product is an
inorganic substance.
• Bioaccumulative potential: This product will undergo hydrolysis in water to form undissociated boric
acid. Boric acid will not biomagnify through the food chain. Octanol/Water partition coefficient: Log P
ow
= -0.7570 @ 25°C
• Mobility in soil: Sodium tetraborate pentahydrate is soluble in water and is leachable through normal
soil. Adsorption to soils or sediments is insignificant.
• Other adverse effects (such as hazardous to the ozone layer): None known
SODIUM POLYBORATE:
• Ecotoxicity: Based on the acute data for freshwater species, boric acid is not classified as hazardous
to the environment.
• Persistence and degradability: Biodegradation is not an applicable endpoint since the product is an
inorganic substance.
• Bioaccumulative potential: Not available
• Mobility in soil: Sodium polyborate is soluble in water and is leachable through normal soil.
Adsorption to soils or sediments is insignificant.
• Other adverse effects (such as hazardous to the ozone layer): None known
