Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 of 4'-amino-2',5'-diethoxybenzanilide gives 50 % degradation in Water at 38 days & 50% degradation in Sediment at 340 days. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in freshwater:
38 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C
Half-life in freshwater sediment:
340 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

According to PBT profiler & EPI suite Biodegradation of 4'-amino-2',5'-diethoxybenzanilide gives 50 % degradation in Water at 38 days & 50% degradation in Sediment at 340 days.These half lives shows that 4'-amino-2',5'-diethoxybenzanilide is readily biodegradable in water while not readily biodegradable in sediment. Hence, 4'-amino-2',5'-diethoxybenzanilide is not persistent in water while being persistent in sediment.
