Description of key information
FAT 20003 is not rapidly biodegradable, but fulfils the criteria of primary, inherent biodegradability.
Additional information
This particular substance is designed to be used as a dye for diverse textile fabrics. To ensure high performance and quality of the treated fabric, those classes of chemical substances are designed to be not biodegradable by microorganisms. Nevertheless, the substance was tested for degradation in several studies.
However, several studies investigating the inherent biodegradability as well as chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD5) of FAT 20003 are available. These studies indicate that FAT 20003 is not rapidly biodegradable, but fulfils the criteria of primary, inherent biodegradability.
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.
