Description of key information
An experimental study was conducted investigating the ready biodegradability of the test item, reaction product of 2,3-epoxypropyl neodecanoate and Benzenesulfonic acid, C10-13-sec-alkyl derivatives, according to the OECD 301B Guideline (“Ready biodegradability, CO2 Evolution Test”) at a GLP accredited laboratory. The study satisfied all validation criteria given in the OECD Test Guidelines and is therefore considered valid and reliable.
The test item, at an initial concentration of 14.9 mg/L (equivalent to 10 mg carbon/L), was exposed to activated sewage sludge micro-organisms with mineral medium in sealed culture vessels in the dark at temperatures between 22 and 24 °C for 28 days. Biodegradation was assessed via determination of CO2 produced. Control solutions with inoculum and the reference item, sodium benzoate, together with a toxicity control were used for validation purposes.
The test item showed 14% biodegradation after 28 days and therefore cannot be considered as readily biodegradable under the OECD 301B Guideline.
Additional information
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.
