Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation: 0% (28-days) not readily biodegradable, OECD301D, Akzo Nobel 2015

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In order to assess the biotic degradation, a ready biodegradability screening test was performed which allows the biodegradability to be measured in an aerobic aqueous medium. The ready biodegradability was determined in the Closed Bottle test (OECD TG 301 D) performed according to slightly modified OECD, EU and ISO Test Guidelines but without parallel positive or toxicity controls in a limited screening study using activated sludge and river water as inocula. The study was extended in accordance with established inherent biodegradation determination literature methodology. 0% degradation was observed at 28 days. The biodegradation did not increase after day 28. The test substance can therefore not be classified as readily biodegradable.
