Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 substance is considered to be inherently biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
Additional information
Biodegradation was examined in a GLP test according to OECD guideline 301B using non-adapted domestic sewage sludge with a prolonged exposure period of 60 days (BASF/BMG Laboratories 2012). After a lag phase of 7 days the substance began to biodegrade with an amount of 35.1% within the 10 -day window and 39% after 28 days, both related to CO2 evolution. After the whole exposure period of 60 days nearly all of the substance was mineralized indicated by a degree of 90.1%. Hence, the substance is considered as inherently biodegradable and is therefore not persistent.
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.
