Description of key information
Additional information
According to test result of ready biodegradation (IUCLID5 section 5.2.1), tetrahydromethylphthalic anhydride (MTHPA) changed to the dissociated substance, which was stable under the chosen conditions.
Endpoint simulation tests in water, sediment and soil (IUCLID5 sections 5.2.2 and 5.2.3) were waived as direct or indirect exposure of the aquatic and terrestrial compartments for this substance are unlikely.
Additionally according to the hydrolysis results (see IUCLID5 section 5.1.2), when this chemical is released into water or other environment compartment it is rapidly degraded in a few minutes and thoroughly hydrolyzed to the corresponding dicarboxylic acids. These hydrolysis products are not readily biodegraded.
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.
