Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
A ‘ready’ biodegradability (modified Sturm test) was conducted with di C8-C10, branched, C9 rich, alkylnaphthalene sulphonic acid (DNNSA). Since di C8-C10, branched, C9 rich, alkylnaphthalene sulphonic acid (DNNSA) was not sufficiently soluble to allow preparation of an aqueous solution at a concentration of 1 g/l, weighed amounts were added to the 2-litres test bottles containing medium with microbial organisms and mineral components. The relative biodegradation values calculated from the measurements performed during the test period revealed 14 and 17% biodegradation of di C8-C10, branched, C9 rich, alkylnaphthalene sulphonic acid (DNNSA), for the duplicate bottles tested. In conclusion, di C8-C10, branched, C9 rich, alkylnaphthalene sulphonic acid (DNNSA) was designated as not readily biodegradable.
An inherent biodegradation study was conducted withdi C8-C10, branched, C9 rich, alkylnaphthalene sulphonic acid (DNNSA) in sealed vessels with headspace test analysis of C02. Since, di C8-C10, branched, C9 rich, alkylnaphthalene sulphonic acid (DNNSA) was poorly soluble in water, 3.2 mg test substance,corresponding toa final organic carbon concentration of 20 mg C/l, was added directly to the test medium (final volume bottle 107 ml). The relative biodegradation values calculated from the measurements performed during the test period revealed no significant biodegradation of di C8-C10, branched, C9 rich, alkylnaphthalene sulphonic acid (DNNSA).
In conclusion, di C8-C10, branched, C9 rich, alkylnaphthalene sulphonic acid (DNNSA) is designated as not inherently biodegradable.
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.
