Description of key information
Additional information
Neither ready nor ultimate biodegradation of the test substance has been demonstrated in ready and inherent biodegradation studies. Inherent biodegradation, however, has been demonstrated in an OECD Guideline 302C study with the test substance. The test substance is structurally similar to 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate, 6:2 monosubstituted polyfluoroalkyl phosphate, and 8:2 fluorotelomer stearate. Studies published on these three substances (Wang et al. 2011, Lee et al., 2010, Dasu et al. 2012) demonstrate that the test substance will undergo cleavage of the ester linkage, resulting in production of 6:2 fluorotelomer alcohol. Additionally, Catalogic v5.11.5 shows that the first and most probable transformation of the test substance is a microbial catalysed hydrolysis reaction to form 6:2 fluorotelomer alcohol and methacrylic acid. The Catalogic model is an expert system capable of simulating microbial degradation. The test substance is 100% within the structural domain of the model. The 6:2 fluorotelomer alcohol will then follow the transformation pathway most recently elucidated by Zhao et al (2012). Furthermore, the transformation products determined by Zhao et al also mimic those simulated by the Catalogic model. 6:2 fluorotelomer alcohol also is 100% within the structural domain of the model. Higher tier biodegradation simulation testing and the identification of degradation products in activated sludge and aerobic soil and river sediments has been conducted on the structurally similar substance 6:2 FTOH.

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).
