Description of key information

Within 28 days, a degradation rate of 83 % was determined. The test item is considered to be "Ready biodegradable". The reference compound sodium benzoate showed 81 % degradation after 14 days.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

The manufacturing process of carbamic acid, (2-hydroxypropyl)-, compound with 1-amino-2-propanol (1:1) runs solvent-based in ethylene glycol and the compound has to be continuously dissolved in about 50% ethylene glycol to ensure stability. This is the only form how the active compound carbamic acid, (2-hydroxypropyl)-, compound with 1-amino-2-propanol (1:1) can be handled and this is also the only marketed form. Because of this instability toxicological investigations cannot be performed with the ‘active ingredient’ but have to be performed with the solution in ethylene glycol. The trade name of the solubilized product is Zusatzmittel 19IF00 A.
