Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Alcohols, C9-11 -iso, C10 -rich, biodegraded to a high extent, 83%, in a standard test of ready biodegradability, and is readily biodegradable. Biotic degradation is expected to significantly contribute to the loss of this substance from the environment.

Isodecanol can exhibit a high extent of biodegradability in soil, based on unacclimated and acclimated studies. Up to 99% biodedgradation was measured based on CO2 evolution after 12 days under unacclimated conditions and a test substance concentration of 100 mg/Kg soil. The half-life was approximately 4 days. Under acclimated conditions and a test substance concentration of 1000 mg/Kg soil, isodecanol exhibited 67% biodegradation based on CO2 evolution and 99% biodegradation based on test substance analyses. The half-life was approximately 21 days at the higher soil loading.
