Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In a test performed according to OECD guideline 301 D adapted to insoluble substance,  the biodegradation of the test item reached 44 % at day 28 and 65% of the ThOD at the end of the extended test (60 days). An inert carrier was used to increase the bioavailability of the test substance for microorgansims. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
inherently biodegradable, fulfilling specific criteria

Additional information

In a manometric respirometry test conducted according to OECD guideline 301 F, test item biodegradations (ThOD) of 17.6% after 28 days and 27.4% after 56 days were found. The test substance being a complex reaction product with insoluble components, a closed-bottle test was performed according to OECD guideline 301 D. Inert carrier was used to improve the bioavailability of the test substance for microorganisms. The biodegradation reached a value of 44% after 28 days and 65% after 60 days. Based on these data, the biodegradation increasing between Day 28 and Day 60 to reach more than 60% of biodegradation, the test substance can be considered as inherently biodegradable, fulfilling specific criteria.
