Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Calculation with BIOWIN v4.10 (EPIWIN software by US-EPA). According to Biowin 1 and 2 the substance is biodegrading fast. The Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe is "weeks", whereas the Primary Biodegradation Timeframe reveals "days" as result. Both MITI Models predict that the substance is not readily biodegradable. Overall Ready Biodegradability Prediction: No
Prediction using Toxtree (v.2.5.0) - class III chemical - unknown biodegradability
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
For 1-Propanesulfonic acid, 3-mercapto-, monosodium salt (CAS 17636-10-1) the biodegradability can be predicted by the computer program BIOWIN v4.10 (EPIWIN software) by US-EPA (Chemservice S.A., 2011). The program calculates with seven different models: Linear Model (Biowin 1), Non-linear Model (Biowin 2), Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe (Biowin 3), Primary Biodegradation Timeframe (Biowin 4), MITI Linear Model (Biowin 5), MITI Non-linear Model (Biowin 6) and Anaerobic Model (Biowin 7). The overall result consists of the ready biodegradability prediction for the target compound. According to Biowin 1 and 2 the substance is biodegrading fast. The Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe is "weeks", whereas the Primary Biodegradation Timeframe reveals "days" as result. Both MITI Models predict that the substance is not readily biodegradable, which is also the overall prediction result. Under anaerobic conditions the substance is expected to be degraded fast. No GLP criteria are applicable for the usage of this tool, but due to the fact that it is a scientifically accepted calculation method, the estimations performed are reliable with restrictions and can be used for the chemical safety assessment.
Further prediction was performed with the help of the Start plug-in in Toxtree (v.2.5.0) by Chemservice S.A. (2011).The START (Structural Alerts for Reactivity in Toxtree) plug-in is a developed rulebase, which estimates the biodegradability potential of a chemical compound based on structural alerts compiled from the Canadian EPA (START2008). The chemical was assigned to the class III - unknown.
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.
