Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: weekly
- Sampling method: BOD analyzer

CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: yes
- Toxicity control: yes
Reference substance:
benzoic acid, sodium salt
Key result
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
22.4
Sampling time:
18 d
Remarks on result:
other: 10-d time window began between D8 (9.4%) and D9 (11.2% degr.)
Key result
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
21.6
Sampling time:
19 d
Results with reference substance:
83.5% degradation on D14
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
1) Difference between replicates was 2.9% (<20%) 2) Ref.item was degraded by 83.5% in 14 days ( min.60%) 3) Avg. O2 uptake of inoculum blank was 21.2 mg/L in 28 days (max. 60 mg/L) 4) Toxicity control showed 52.1% degradation on D14 (min. 25%)
Interpretation of results:
inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
Di-PETMP is not readily biodegradable, but can be assumed to be inherently biodegradable with > 20% biodegradation.

Description of key information

Based on 62.2% biodegradation in a closed bottle test and the 10 d window criterion being fulfilled, BuMP is readily biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable
Type of water:
freshwater
