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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The substance is inherently biodegradable since significant mineralization of 57% was found within 60 days under conditions of a ready biodegradation study.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
Additional information
Two valid GLP studies show that the substance is not readily biodegradable. This is the case for exposure to activated sludge (key study) and to sewage (supporting study). Both studies detected biodegradation at a low extent (maximum 10.4% and 13% within 28 days of exposure). The key study (which had been conducted with activated sludge) demonstrated maximum 13% biodegradation within 28 days in one replicate, plateau not reached yet. The 10% trigger value was reached on day 25. Furthermore, prolongation of the study to 60 days showed biodegradation of 57%. Based on the potential for biodegradation, the substance is considered to be inherently 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.
