Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

According to the guideline study OECD 301 B, the substance was tested using a concentration of nominally 20 mg organic carbon/L in test medium. Activated sludge was used as inoculum. The test was left running for 28 days. All validity criteria were met. The biodegrading of the substance is 77 % (28 d), respectively 72 % (10-day-window). The test can be considered as valid.

A supporting study according to OECD 302 B proofed the biodegradability; however the given data are not sufficient for a terminal conclusion.

Another non GLP-Study according to OECD 301 B shows deficiencies and results that could not be reproduced. Therefore these results will not be taken into the further considerations.

Additionally the substance’s biodegradability was also estimated by a calculation using the software “Biowin v4.10 (US EPA)”. The estimation resulted in a conclusion to consider the organic part of the substance as readily biodegradable.
