Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The substance is Readily Biodegradable.
Additional information
Biotic degradation
No standard ready biodegradability screening tests were conducted on this substance, however simulation tests, using natural microbial populations in seawater (OECD 306, marine BODIS) indicate the potential for rapid degradation in the environment (maximum degradation over 28 -days = 63 %, Hudson, 2007). These results are considered to translate to screening test criteria, where if a complex mixture achieves 60 % (BOD) degradation in a 28 -day study, the substance can be considered as readily biodegradable (the 10 -day window does not apply to complex mixtures).
The substance is considered to be readily biodegradable. No further simulation testing was necessary as the chemical safety assessment did not require such testing in order to confirm safe use.
No assessment on biodegradation in soil was conducted for this substance as the chemical safety assessment did not require such a refinement. Half lives in soil were derived from ECHA Guidance R16. using default values for readily biodegradable substances at environmentally relevant temperature.
The following half live values are used for chemical safety assessment:
Half-Life in Water: 15 days
Half-Life in Soil: 300 days
Half-Life in Sediment: 3,000 days
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.
