Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The substance is not biodegradable in tests on the ready and inherent biodegradability.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Additional information

The ready biodegradability and the inherent biodegradability of the test item FAT 40850/A TE were tested in two valid GLP studies according to EU Methods C.4-D and C.9, respectively. The substance did not fulfil the criteria for a readily biodegradable substance, but showed a certain potential for biodegradation under the test conditions since about 13% of the substance was found to be degraded after a period of 28 days. The potential for biodegradation could not be confirmed in the Zahn-Wellens test on inherent biodegradability and the substance was considered as not inherently biodegradable. It can be concluded that FAT 40850/A TE is not biodegradable.
