BIOWIN v4.10 Results

Biowin1 (Linear Model Prediction): Biodegrades Fast (value: 0.5610)

Biowin2 (Non-Linear Model Prediction): Does Not Biodegrade Fast (value: 0.4211)

Biowin3 (Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe): Weeks (value: 3.0020)

Biowin4 (Primary Biodegradation Timeframe): Days (value: 3.8516)

Biowin5 (MITI Linear Model Prediction): Readily Degradable (value: 0.5400)

Biowin6 (MITI Non-Linear Model Prediction): Readily Degradable (value: 0.5812)

Biowin7 (Anaerobic Model Prediction): Does Not Biodegrades Fast (value: 0.2565)

Ready Biodegradability Prediction: Yes

Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Based on the outcome of the model, 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid is considered as readily biodegradable. The substance under concern is within the applicability domain of BIOWIN v.4.10. Thus, the prediction is fully reliable to fulfill requirements for Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH) Annex VII section 9.2.1.1 and to replace further biodegradability screening tests.

Description of key information

Based on a reliable QSAR prediction with BIOWIN (v4.10), 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid is considered to be readily biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable
