Description of key information
In an OECD 301A test sodium isobutyrate solution was 94% degraded within the 10-day window and is therfore considered to be readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
An OECD 301A DOC die-away test was conducted to test the ready biodegradability of sodium isobutyrate solution. A measured volume of inoculated mineral medium, containing a known concentration of test substance as the nominal sole source of carbon, was aerated at 22± 2oC for 28 days. The DOC concentration was measured after 0, 7,14, 21, and 28 days.
The DOC removal in test flasks was found to be 100% by day 28. There was 94% removal within the 10 day window. As such, the test substance is classified as readily biodegradable.
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.
