Results and discussion

% Degradation
Key result
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
> 62
St. dev.:
3.13
Sampling time:
28 d
Details on results:
Based on ThOD NH4 , the degradation rate of the test item “EPALINE 100 - CORN OIL PEROXIDISED”did not reach 60% within the 10-Day window (40.15% on Day 13) but after 28 days of incubation (62.07%).
Under conditions of OECD Guideline 301F, the test item “EPALINE 100 - CORN OIL PEROXIDISED” reach 62.07% after 28 days of incubation and can be considered readily biodegradable based on ThOD NH4 , therefore the 10 Day window failed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Under conditions of OECD Guideline 301F, the test item “EPALINE 100 - CORN OIL PEROXIDISED” reach 62.07% after 28 days of incubation and can be considered readily biodegradable based on ThOD NH4.
