Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
OECD 301C test of this substance showed average 42% as biodegradation rate of BOD and did not meet the criteria of ready biodegradation. But biodegradation rate from GC analysis showed average 65% and degradation products are not recognized in the test suspension. And BOD curve of this test showed an upward tendency after 28 days.
On the other hand, this substance has low water solubility and test condition of OECD 301C need high test substance concentration as 100 mg/L. Therefore this high concentration may increases the probability of inhibition or mass transfer issues for low solubility materials as described in “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7b: Endpoint specific guidance”.
Another study conducted at 30 mg/L test substance concentration (OECD 301C reverse method) showed average 83% degradation of BOD and average 95% degradation from GC analysis. And also there were not degradation products in this test.
As a result of consideration by the overall information above, we concluded that this substance has low environmental persistence and shows “Ready degradability in actual environment".
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).
