Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Reaction products of acetic acid and acetylferrocene and butan-1-ol and 2-methylpropan-1-ol and propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol
EC Number:
700-283-7
Molecular formula:
Exact molecular formula is not known as it is a reaction mass. Empiric formula: C5H5FeC5H4COCmHn
IUPAC Name:
Reaction products of acetic acid and acetylferrocene and butan-1-ol and 2-methylpropan-1-ol and propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol
Details on test material:
According to INQ-C-0000036278-61-01, INQ-C-0000036386-62-01, and INQ_RESULT_INQ-C-0000036417-65-01 from ECHA, identification of a substance has been changed to UVCB substance. Name of the substance on the study results is the old name (reaction mass of butan-1-ol and propan-2-ol, ReduxCo), however these reports should be regarded valid as all studies were performed on the substance that is being registered - ReduxCo.

Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
46.12
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
Basis on the results obtained for ReduxCo it was assessed that after 28 days of experiment biodegradation test material was equal to 46.12% and biodegradation of reference substance (sodium acetate) was equal to 62.56% after 7 days of the experiment and86.54% after 28 days of the experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
According to study substance is not readily biodegradable as 28 days of experiment biodegradation test material was equal to 46.12% that is less than 60%. We can consider it as inherently biodegradable.
Executive summary:

ReduxCo is inherently biodegradable.
