Additional information
In a guideline OECD biodegradation study using method 301F, 2 -butyl glycol acetate was found to be 88% degraded after 28 days when using a non-adapted activated sludge from a domestic waste water treatment plant. Degradation took 4 days to start and reached 65% within the following 10 days, indicating that the substance can be considered readily biodegradable.
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.
