Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
AMIX TE (Oxirane, reaction products with ammonia, distn. residues, CAS 68953-70-8) is readily biodegradable (according to OECD criteria).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
In a GLP study according to OECD 301A, the ready biodegradability of AMIX TE (CAS 68953-70-8) was tested (BASF AG, 1996, project no. 95/0675/21/1). The inoculum was non-acclimated activated sludge from a laboratory sewage treatment plant receiving domestic and synthetic sewage. The substance was removed by 90 to 100% based on DOC after 20 d. The 10 d window was kept. Therefore it can be concluded that the substance is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
