Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

There is no study available on ready biodegradation for C7-C9, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics. Based on a category-approach data are read-across to hydrocarbons, C6-C7, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, < 5% n-hexane. A study using a standardized OECD 301F ready test guideline is available for this UVCB substance (Shell 1997). Results from this manometric respirometry test procedure demonstrated 98% biodegradation after 28 days of hydrocarbons, C6-C7, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclcis, < 5% n-hexane. The test substance is thus considered readily biodegradable.
