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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
Fluometuron is not hydrolysing in pure water. The biodegradation rate depends on the medium. In screening tests only small biodegradation was found (BOD 5 = 0.55). The water solubility is with 0.111 g/L very low indicating a small release factor from Fluometuron into water pathways. Fluometuron is hydrolytically stable at the environmentally relevant range of pHs (pH 5 -9).
Studies of sorption and desorption reported in this dossier indicate that fluometuron does not bind strongly to soil and may have a potential to leach.
The degradation products effective for the environment are well known from several more detailed studies and EFSA reviews (EFSA.europa.eu) for Fluometuron.
Fluometuron has low bioaccumulative properties, as log Pow is determined to be 2.28 and in rat toxicokinetics a high excretion rate was found.
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.
