Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water: screening tests: Not readily biodegradable: 0 – 7.2% (BOD, TOC removal, LC) in 14 days (OECD TG 301C), 0% (DOC) in 28 days (OECD TG 301E), 0% (DOC) in 28 days (OECD TG 302B)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
