Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

not biodegradable (< 1% biodegradation, CO2-evolution test, OECD 301B)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In order to determine the ready biodegradability of the test substance a CO2-evolution test conducted by Muckle (2014). The study was conducted according to GLP and followed OECD guideline 301B. Activated sludge as inoculum was exposed for 28 days. A concentration of nominally 20 mg organic carbon/L corresponding to 28.3 mg of the test substance was used. No degradation could be observed after 28 days. Degradation behaviour of positive control and toxicity control was normal. Abiotic degradation was not observed. Thus, the test substance cannot be considered as biodegradable.
