Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
In three different aerobic screening studies, dodecyl lactate or combinations of long chain alcyl lactates, linear and branched, proved to be readily biodegradable.
Supporting tests with other alkyl lactates or long chain alcohols confirm the high potential for biodegradation of the product for registration.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
All main constituents of the test material, the C16 lactate and alcohol, are considered as readily biodegradable.
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.
