Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Biodegradation of the test item was determined using 3 studies that permit the screening for ready biodegradability. In the key study (1984), the determination of the ready biodegradability of the test item was assessed over a 28 day period by the modified Sturm test (OECD 301B). The nominal test concentrations were 10 and 20 mg a.s./L. The test material attained up to 12 and 13 % biodegradation after 28 days whereas the positive control substance (Aniline) was 101 % degraded 28 days. These results indicate that the test item cannot be classified readily biodegradable under conditions of the test.
This is supported by two different studies: In a supporting study on biodegradation (1989), the biodegradability was determined to be 16 %.
Additionally, the test item was investigated for its ready biodegradability in a manometric respirometry test according to the OECD301F over a period of 28 days(2005). After 28 d only 13 - 14 % biodegradation has been observed.
Therefore, in overall conclusion, the test item is not readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria
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.
