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.

Additional information

One study is available investigating the biodegradation of Isooctadecanoic acid, 1,1'-(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediyl) ester (CAS 109884-54-0). The study was performed according to OECD 301B (GLP) under aerobic conditions using activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant treating predominantly domestic sewage and a test concentration of 26.1 mg/L (Junghans, 2009). A biodegradation of 95% (CO2 evolution) was observed after 28 d. Since the substance reached the pass level for OECD 301B (biodegradation is > 60% after 28 d, meeting the 10-day window) it is considered to be readily biodegradable according to the OECD criteria. All validity criteria of the guideline were met.
