Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
EU risk assessment report, p.17 (2009):
In two standard ready biodegradability tests (IUCLID 5.2.1.001), PTBBA failed both the 10-day window and the pass level of 60 % biodegradation of ThOD in 28 days. PTBBA is therefore classified as not readily biodegradable. Inherent biodegradability test results are not available, although the degree of degradation observed in the modified Sturm test (one of the two studies under IUCLID 5.2.1.001) and in some of the other tests indicate that PTBBA might be inherently biodegradable. For modelling purposes, the biodegradation rate constant for STPs is assumed to be zero.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
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.
