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

Two guideline studies on the ready biodegradability of octocrilene are available. The biodegradation of the substance was tested in two Manometric Respirometry tests according to EU Method C.4 -D and OECD guideline 301F, respectively. Both tests used non-adapted activated sludge as inoculum. At termination of the test after 28 days of inoculation the detected degradation rate was in the range of 0 - 10 % (Bayer AG 1995, BASF AG 1991). Thus, octocrilene is not readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria. The substance is considered as poorly biodegradable.
