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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Half-life for primary biodegradation in two freshwater lakes ranged from 20 - 28 days. Incubations were not carried out for sufficient time to quantify kinetics of mineralization. However, evolution of 14CO2 indicates the potential for complete mineralization of the substance by non-adapted surface water microorganisms.
Additional simulation testing in sediment is waived based on the substance being readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in freshwater:
- 28 d
- at the temperature of:
- 293 K
Additional information
Half-life for primary biodegradation in two freshwater lakes ranged from 20 - 28 days, as corrected for degradation in killed control experiments. Incubations were not carried out for sufficient time to quantify kinetics of mineralization. However, evolution of 14CO2 indicates the potential for complete mineralization of the substance by non-adapted surface water microorganisms.
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.
