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

Biodegradation potential of MTDID 44430 was assessed in a ready biodegradability test according to guideline OECD 301F (manometric respirometry) and an inherent biodegradability test according to guideline OECD 302C.  In the ready test, MTDID 44430 had 53.5% BOD/ThOD and was not inhibitory to biodegradation in the toxicity control. Based on this result, MTDID 44430 is not readily biodegradable, but is inherently biodegradable.  In the inherent test, a final biodegradation value of 57.9% ThOD/BOD in 28 days was measured, but the substance could not be detected in abiotic samples at the end of the test. Test material concentrations are known to be non-stable in aqueous solution, and it is possible that the test material was no longer available for biodegradation throughout the test period.  However, the results of the study are conservatively reported as such. Specific criteria were therefore not met in this test.
