Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Despite the high stability in the environment, all substances, for which experimental data are available, are readily biodegradable, with the exception of Ditridecyl Adipate, which reaches 57-60% of degradation in 28 days.
