Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

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.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The sample did not reach the 60% degradation treshold within 28 days and therefore has to be considered as "not readily biodegradable" according to OECD criteria.
Executive summary:

The sample did not reach the 60% degradation treshold within 28 days and therefore has to be considered as "not readily biodegradable" according to OECD criteria.
