Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Readily biodegradable
Additional information
The biodegradation of the substance is evaluated according to the OECD Guideline 301B. A measured volume of inoculated mineral medium, containing a known concentration of the test substance as the nominal sole source of organic carbon is aerated by the passage of carbon dioxide-free air at a controlled rate. Degradation was followed over 28 days by determining the carbon dioxide produced. The CO2 is trapped in barium hydroxide and is measured by titration of the residual hydroxide. Toxicity, inocolum and reference control run in parallel. All validity criteria were met.
The substance was biodegraded by 76.7 % after 28 days meeting the 10 -day window.
The substance is therefore considered as readily biodegradable.
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.
