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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- readily biodegradable but failing 10-day window
Additional information
Four studies are available determining the biodegradability of bis(2ethylhexyl)maleinate under aerobic conditions. Three of them assess the ready biodegradability of the test substance, and in one test, the inherent biodegradability was evaluated. In all three tests on ready biodegradability it could be shown that bis(2ethylhexyl)maleinate is in principle ready biodegradable, however, the ten-day window criterion was not met. A potential biodegradability of the test substance is supported by the results of the test on inherent biodegradability. Based on all available data, bis(2ethylhexyl)maleinate is classified as "ready biodegradable, failing the ten-day window criterion".
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.
