Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
poorly biodegradable
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No studies for the substance itself are available. the pigment is not expected to biodegrade and this assumption is supported by studies on four analogous substances.
(1) In a test on the structural analogue (CAS 7023 -61 -2) following OECD guideline 301B the ready biodegradability of the substance was tested. Based on the CO2 evolution a degradation rate of 0 % was determined after 28 days inoculation time (BASF SE, 2007).
(2) In a test on an analogue (CAS 5281 -04 -9) following OECD guideline 301C the substance was inoculated with a mixture of sewage, soil and natural water and the O2 consumption during 28 days inoculation time was recorded. Overall the substance was degraded by 9 -12 % after 28 days (JETOC, 1992).
(3) The third study (on CAS 73612 -29 -0) was conducted according to OECD 301C with a mixture of sewage, soil and natural water as inoculum. The degradation rate after 28 days was 0 % based on O2 consumption of the inoculum (Dainippon Ink and Chemicals Inc., 2006).
(4) The fourth test on CAS 5160 -02 -1 revealed a degradation of 0% based on oxygen consumption.
In conclusion, the present substance is regarded to be not biodegradable and thus persistent in the environment.

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.
