Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The substance degrades rapidly under illumination conditions simulating natural sunlight.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in soil:
- 18 d
Additional information
The rate of photolysis and degradation pattern was determined with 14C- labelled substance. In illuminated soil samples, extractable radioactivity (99.2-100.8 % at day 0) steadily decreased to 73.4-74.1 % at day 30. Consequently, non-extractable radioactivity increased from 0.1% at day 1 to 10.9 % at day 30, indicating that complete mineralization occurred. For the dark controls, radioactivity could be completely extracted for all time intervals.
During illumination, the parent substance decreased from 93.3% at day 0 to 27.1% at day 30. Besides the parent compound, two fractions were found in significant amounts at day 30 of illumination: 4-aldehyde-4’-(2-sulfostyryl)biphenyl (16.1%) , unidentified substance (15.2%). Amongst the minor amounts (1.8-3.0%) 4,4’-bisaldehyde biphenyl was identified. During incubation in the dark, almost exclusively the parent substance was found, ranging from 90.8 to 83.4%.
Degradation on soil under illumination conditions simulating natural sunlight (light/dark cycle: 12 hours) proceed with a half-life of 18.0 days.
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.
