Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 in water: screening test: OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals, OECD 301B; Not readily Biodegradable; Reliability = K1;  

Evidence of ready biodegradability in a Carbon Dioxide Evolution Test is ≥ 60% TCO2 within the 28 day test period.  In addition, the pass level must be reached within 10 days of achieving 10% TCO2.  The final mean percent biodegradation for BPAF/BPAF: BTPP-Salt was -10.3% at the end of the test.

The average cumulative percent biodegradation for BPAF/BPAF: BTPPSalt was 10.3% lower than the blank inoculum, indicating that BPAF/BPAF: BTPP Salt did not degrade over the 28 day test period.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
