Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The substance was not readily biodegradable under the conditions of a modified MITI test according to OECD guideline 301 C (BASF, 09G0580/09G205, 2016).

Additional information

Biodegradation:

For the determination of the aerobic biodegradability of the test substance in water a modified MITI test according to OECD guideline 301 C was conducted (BASF, 09G0580/09G205, 2016). Mixtures of the test substance, a defined mineral medium and non-adapted, aerobic sludge from several samples were incubated and aerated under static conditions in a respirometer for 28 days. The mean degree of biodegradation of the test substance was 4% BOD/ThOD after an exposure period of 28 days. The results derived from specific analysis show that the test substance had a dissipation degree at the end of exposure of 25% releated to the test substance content in the blank control and 98.0% related to the test substance concent in the blank control at the start of exposure. Thus, the test substance is not readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test.

Degradation pathway:

Two models of the OASIS Catalogic tool (v5.11.19) were used to assess the degradation pathway and to identify potential metabolites of the registration item.

CATALOGIC 301C v.10.14 predicted a total of 76 metabolites. 11 out of those exceeding a quantity of 0.1 % [mol/mol parent], which therefore are considered relevant for the PBT assessment. Four metabolites were estimated to be readily biodegradable (between 69% and 90% after 28 days, based on BOD), the remaining degradation products were calculated to be not readily biodegradable (<60% after 28d, based on BOD). All of the relevant metabolites have log POWs below 4.5 and are therefore not fulfilling the B criterion under REACH.

CATALOGIC 301F v.5.12.1 identified a total of 24 metabolites with 4 of them having PBT relevance (quantity >= 0.1 % [mol/mol parent]). Two out of those were estimated to readily biodegrade (73% and 77% after 28 days, based on BOD), two were predicted to degrade moderately (49% and 50% after 28 days, based on BOD). Based on the calculated log POWs of these relevant metabolites, significant bioaccumulation is not to be expected.

For details of both investigations, please see the ‘Attached background material’ of the respective endpoint study records.

Conclusion:

Taking the available information into account, the registration item is not readily biodegradable. However, neither the substance itself nor its degradation products raise concerns with regard to the PBT assessment.
