Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) determinations were carried out for the test substance using the EU Method C.6 (Degradation, Chemical Oxygen Demand) cited as Directive 84/449/EEC, C.9 and EU Method C.5 (Degradation: Biochemical Oxygen Demand) cited as Directive 84/449/EEC, C.8. The study was carried out in accordance with the OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice.
The 5-day BOD value was found to be an average of 0.0069 grams of oxygen per gram of the test substance at percent concentrations of 0.020, 0.030, and 0.060. The 20-day BOD value was found to be an average of 0.011 grams of oxygen per gram of the test substance at percent concentrations of 0.020 and 0.030. The COD result is the mean of three measurements and was found to be 0.791 grams of COD per gram of the test substance. The test material is not readily biodegradable based on a BOD5/COD ratio less than 0.5. The BOD5/COD ratio was found to be 0.0087.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
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.
