Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Di-n-propyl peroxydicarbonate has been demonstrated to be inherently biodegradable. Indeed, this peroxide attained 79% biodegradation after 28 days under the test conditions of the modified Sturm test (OECD 301B). Neverthless, it cannot be considered to be readily biodegradable as the test item failed to satisfy the 10-Day window validation criterion, whereby 60% biodegradation must be attained within 10 days of the biodegradation exceeding 10%.
The abiotic degradation of di-n-propyl peroxydicarbonate has also been assessed according to OECD 111. The hydrolytic half-life of the peroxide is less than one hour at all the tested pH (range 4 to 9). The main degradation product is 1 -propanol (CAS No. 71 -23 -8).
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.
