Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
6
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
The calculated theorical oxygen demand of EPOXY RESIN T1800 is 1.62 o2/mg. This theorical oxygen demand is caculated by assuming formation of ammonium, water and carbon dioxide (if no nitrification is observed).
EPOXY RESIN T1800 did not inhibit the micro-organisms as shown by the toxicity control flasq where biodegration percentage is already 42%, higher than 25% after 14 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Conclusions:
EPOXY RESIN T1800 is not readily biodegradable.
