Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 test substance is enhanced readily biodegradable and thus not persistent in the environment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Several ready biodegradability screening tests showed that the test substance is not readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria (in a test period of 28 days) but reached biodegradation values of > 60 % by prolongation of the test period up to 60 days. This result indicate that the test substance is enhanced readily biodegradable according to the "Guidance of information requirements and chemical safety assessment, R.7b" (ECHA, 2008a). As the test substance is enhanced readily biodegradable and thus not persistent in the environment according to "Guidance of information requirements and chemical safety assessment, R.11" (ECHA, 2008b) no simulation testing in soil is deemed necessary to further investigate the biodegradability of the test substance.
