Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

The testing of the readily biodegradability is not necessary, because the substance is not  inherently biodegradable. Therefore biodegradation processes in a OECD 301 test cannot be expected.
