Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The organic moiety iso-propanol, formed immediately when aluminium isopropanolate comes in contact with moisture or water, is rapidly biodegradable, whereas the aluminium cation formed is ubiquitous in the environment.
Additional information
Testing of aluminium isopropanolate for biodegradation is technically not feasible as the substance immediately dissociates to Al3+ species and isopropanol upon contact with water or moisture. Isopropanol is known to be readily biodegradable as demonstrated by the supportive study with a BOD5/COD ratio > 0.5. Thus, the organic moiety of the substance is considered rapidly biodegradable. Aluminium cations, being the inorganic moiety, cannot be biodegraded as the concept of biodegradability is only applicable to organic substances. Testing for biodegradation in sediment or soil are not required as the organic moiety is readily biodegradable.
For explanation for using surrogate data in a weight of evidence approach see also the document in section 13 IUCLID.
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.
