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.

readily biodegradable

Additional information

The biodegradation of n-Butyl vinyl ether was tested in a CO2 Test in seasled vessels (Headspace Test) according to OECD Test Guideline 310. The degree of biodegradation after an exposure period of 28 days was 83±1 % TIC/TOC in this test. The mean value of degree of biodegradation was calculated by the single values of five test assays at the end of exposure with a limit of confidence of 95 %. The required pass level of the ten day window for ready biodegradability was reached. Thus n-Butyl vinyl ether is considered as readily biodegradable.
