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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Non-persistence of the registration substance has been confirmed. In particular, Bis[2-(octylthio)-ethyl] ether was found to degrade ~53% in 60 days. Bis[2-(octylthio)-ethyl] ether is percieved to be the most recalcitrant constituent of the regsitration substance and results for this constituent can be used as a surrogate for the registration substance. This conclusion of non-persistent was endorsed by UK CA in 2008 within the forum of the ECB TCNES WG for PBT.
285. PDN **** [EC# 424-820-7] File leader 97-06-1013 (UK)
deleted (not PBT/vPvB)
Non-persistence of this substance has been confirmed. In particular, an ether component of potential significance was found to degrade ~53% in 60 days, supported by QSAR calculations appended to the factsheet.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable, not fulfilling specific criteria
Additional information
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.
