Conclusions:
not inherently biodegradable
Executive summary:

The inherent biodegradability of FAT - 92'333/A was determined in a 28 days Zahn-Wellens -Test according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 302B, Paris 1981 and the EEC-Directive, L133 (pp. 99-105) Volume 31, May 88. The test was performed in compliance with the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations of Switzerland. The test substance was tested in concentration of 150 mg/l DOC. The reference substance Diethylenglycol was also tested in a concentration of 150 mg/l DOC.

The bioelimination of the test substance FAT - 92'333/A after 28 days is: 13.4 %

The bioelimination of the reference substance after 19 days is: 90.8 %
