Description of key information
DEGRADABILITY OF DIISOBUTYRYL PEROXIDE
Diisobutyryl peroxide is an instable substance. It has been demonstrated in hydrolysis and ecotoxicity studies that diisobutryl peroxide degrades rapidly. The degradation products have been confirmed in supporting studies using NMR analytical techniques (see additional information on environmental fate and behaviour). This data has been added as supporting a ecotoxicological information. It is therefore assumed that in soils and surface waters rapid conversion of this peroxide into isobutyric acid takes place.
It is well documented in openly available literature that isobutyric acid is naturallyoccurringand ready biodegradable. Discussion of this and literature references have been added to the summary in the biodegradation endpoint.Biodegradation in water and sediment and biodegradation in soil endpoints are on these grounds not considered necessary.
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.
