Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
This substance is not readily biodegradable. But the substance is easily hydrolyzed in water and transformed into N-phenylmaleamic acid (CAS No.555-59-9).
QSAR modelling indicates that the hydrysed product of this substance is readily biodegradable.
The transformed substance may decomposed into maleic acid (CASNo.108-31-6) and aniline (CAS No.62-53-3) depened on pH value whose substances are known to be good biodegradable.
Although itself not readily biodegradable, the substance has been shown to rapidly hydrolyse to N-phenylmaleamic acid (CAS NO.555-59-9) which its itself predictd to be readily biodegradable (EPISUITE QSAR modelling), it is indicated that this subsequent biodegradadation proceeds via breakdown into maleic acid (CAS NO.108-31-6) and aniline (CAS NO.62-53-3) which are known to be biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable, not fulfilling specific criteria
Additional information
This substance is not readily biodegradabale because of the data BOD = 6% on 28 d and DOC = 11% on 28 d.
But this substance is easily hydrolyzed in water and transformed into N-phenylmaleamic acid (CAS No.555-59-9). The transformed substance may decomposed into maleic acid (CASNo.108-31-6) and aniline (CAS No.62-53-3) depened on pH value, these substances are known to be biodegradable, as measured BOD5:77%, BOD14:85% respectively.
Although itself not readily biodegradable, the substance has been shown to rapidly hydrolyse to N-phenylmaleamic acid (CAS No. 555 -59 -9) which itself predicted to be readily biodegradable (EPISUITE QSAR modelling), it is indicated that this subsequent biodegradadation proceeds via breakdown into maleic acid (CAS No. 108 -31 -6) and aniline (CAS No. 62 -53 -3) which are known to be 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.
