Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Biodegradation (28d) = 43.43 %; not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of the substance was assessed according to ASTM Guideline E 1720 -01, which is similar to OECD Guideline 301B. The test substance in a mineral medium was inoculated with the domestic activated sludge for 28 days under aerobic conditions. During this period the biodegradation of the test substance was determined on the basis of CO2 production. CO2 evolution was determined on the days 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, 20, 24, 28. Concurrent blank (medium and inocolum) and reference (dextrose, medium and inocolum) run in parallel.
The substance recorded a biodegradability of 43.43 % on day 28. According to the ASTM E1720: the method requirement for Readily Biodegradability is a minimum of 60 % organic carbon conversion measured via CO2 evolution achieved in a 10 -day window after passing the 10 % Biodegradation threshold. The method requirement for Ultimately Biodegradability is a minimum of 60 % organic carbon conversion measured via carbon dioxide evolution achieved within the 28-day testing period. Based on the afore mentioned requirements, the test substance can be considered as non-readily 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.
