Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Sodium dibenzyldithiocarbamate is characterised as “not readily biodegradable”.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No data on biodegradation is available for sodium dibenzyldithiocarbamate. However, data from the structural analogues tetrabenzylthiuramdisulphide and zinc bis(dibenzyldithiocarbamate) will be used (for details see Reporting Format as attached to the respective IUCLID entry and CSR Appendix A1). In a GLP-compliant, EC C4.C guideline study (Modified Sturm Test) 0% degradation after 28 days is observed for tetrabenzylthiuramdisulfide (Akzo Corporate Research, 1988). A GLP-compliant OECD 301F (Manometric Respirometry Test) is available for zinc bis(dibenzyldithiocarbamate). After 28 days 7% degradation was observed (Currenta GmbH & Co, 2010b).

Therefore, it is assumed that also sodium dibenzyldithiocarbamate is not readily biodegradable.
