Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
The substance is not readily biodegradable. It will degrade in the presence of light in the water, but not in the dark.
Executive summary:

The substance does not contain hydrolysable groups. It is estimated that the substance has a low potential to hydrolyse in the dark (note the hydrolysis testing was performed according to Directive 84/449/EEC, C.10 and based on the test conditions, photolytic interference should be avoided by appropriate means). The substance is stable in acidic and neutral pH conditions. There is no information about whether it undergoes hydrolysis at alkaline conditions. Based on the test result, hydrolysis in the absence of light is not expected.

However, its eco-toxicological information showed that the substance has a poor stability. As the substance is a photoinitiator, it would be expected to rapidly degrade in the environment upon exposure to nature light.
