Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The ready biodegradability of two structural analogues of the target substance was determined with non-adapted activated sludge in the Manometric Respirometry Test according to OECD 301F for a period of 28 days. Both source chemicals were classified as not readily biodegradable within 28 days.
For source chemical 1 both test item replicates reached the 10 % level (beginning of biodegradation) within 1 day, but the 60 % pass level was not reached within 28 days. After 28 days the mean biodegradation was 40 %. For source chemical 2 both replicates reached the 10 % level (beginning of biodegradation) within 2 days, but did not reach the 60 % pass level within 28 days. After 28 days the mean biodegradation was 25 %. The validity criteria of the guideline are fulfilled
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
The hydrolysis products are believed to be identical for all substances due to identical number and structural vicinity of relevant functional groups. Therefore a similar degradation process in water will take place. Methanol formed by hydrolysis is readily biodegradable and the observed degree of biodegradation is largely allocated to methanol. Degradation of other fragments is slow and may decrease with increasing partition coefficient. It can therefore be assumed that the target substance will be not readily biodegradable as well.
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.
