Description of key information

Isooctene is considered to be readily biodegradable, reaching 82% biodegradation after 28 days and meeting the 10 day window.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

Data obtained from a reliable proprietary report, which is GLP compliant and follows OECD 301B, with the control reaching 100% biodegradation after 28 days. It is considered reliable and suitable for use as the key study for this endpoint. According to the report's owners the substance di-n-butene can be classified as CAS 11071-47-9 (Isooctene). Isooctene was degraded 82% in 28 days and met the 10 day window. As such the substance is considered to be readily biodegradable.

This endpoint shows that the substance will not be regarded as persistent (P) in the PBT assessment.
