Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Tetrahydromethylphthalic anhydride (MTHPA) changed to the dissociated substance, which was stable under the chosen conditions.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of tetrahydromethylphthalic anhydride (MTHPA) was studied in a Modified MITI Test (I). The test item was exposed to activated sludge at 24.0 - 26.0 degree C for 28 days. The oxygen and test material measurements were performed in triplicate. MTHPA changed to the dissociated substance, which was stable under the chosen conditions.
Hence, the test item is considered to be not ready biodegradable.
The study was conducted according to the OECD guideline 301 C.
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.
