Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Releases of FC-72 for all proposed uses are to the atmosphere. The substance is of very low water solubility, is volatile, and has a high experimental Henry's Law constant. Based on these qualities, it is expected to remain in the atmospheric compartment upon release. No reliable biodegradation studies were conducted with this substance. A category member (FC-770) tested in an OECD Guideline 310 study was found to be not readily biodegradable. None of the other category members tested showed signs of biodegradation in reliable closed bottle tests. Based on these test results and the fact that this molecule belongs to a category of chemicals which are not reactive toward biological molecules and cannot undergo bioactivation by normal enzymatic processes, biodegradation of FC-72 is not expected.
Please see IUCLID section 13 for the category justification and a matrix of biodegradation data for members of the Perfluorinated Organic Chemicals C5-C18 category.
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.
