Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The biodegradation of the test material was assessed over 28 days according to OECD Test Guideline 301C using a modified MITI test. The average degradation by BOD was 76 % and is therefore considered readily biodegradable.

The biodegradation of the read-across material, acrylamide, was assessed over 28 days according to OECD test guideline 301 D using a closed bottle test. The test material was found to degrade approximately 100 % and is also considered readily biodegradable.

Additional information

The biodegradation of the test material was assessed over 28 days according to OECD Test Guideline 301C using a modified MITI test. Non-adapted activated sludge was used as the inoculum and the study was performed under aerobic conditions. In the procured test sample there was around 7 % impurity and this insoluble matter remained in HPLC analysis, however, structural estimation could not be done. The test article did not remain. The degradation after 7 days and 14 days of the reference substance, aniline, that is derived by BOD is respectively 69 % and 76 %, thereby confirming that the conditions of the test are valid.

The average degradation by BOD of the test material was 76 % and is therefore considered readily biodegradable.

 

The biodegradation of the read-across material, acrylamide, was assessed over 28 days according to OECD test guideline 301D using a closed bottle test. Non-adapted activated sludge was used as the inoculum and the study was performed under aerobic conditions. Degradation was followed by oxygen analyses with the YSI Dissolved Oxygen Analyzer 54A over a 28-day period. Degradability was based on a comparison of readings of actual oxygen demand to the theoretically expected oxygen demand. A parallel control with inoculum, but without test material, was run as a blank correction factor. The procedure was validated by means of a reference substance (aniline, 2 mg/L) of known biodegradability.

The reference material, aniline, degraded approximately 98 % in concurrent testing and was considered readily biodegradable because it achieved a degradation of greater than 70 %.

The test material was found to degrade approximately 100 % and is also considered readily biodegradable.
