Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Bourgeonal undergoes 65 % biodegradation after 28 days in the test conditions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

Bourgeonal undergoes 65 % biodegradation after 28 days in the test conditions. The 10~day window criterion is also fulfilled (14 % biodegradation on day 15 and 60 % on day 25). Thus, Bourgeonal should be regarded as readily biodegradable according to this test.

Bourgeonal did not significantly inhibit the intrinsic respiration of the inoculum at the test concentration (30mg/L) and was therefore considered to be non-toxic to the inoculum at the test concentration.
