Description of key information
Additional information
The ready biodegradability of reaction mass of DIPE and 2 -methylpent-2 -ene in water was tested according to ISO 14593:2005 under GLP. No significant degradation (20%) of the test item was observed after 28 days. Therefore, the reaction mass is considered as not readily biodegradable.
This finding is corroborated by the fact that the main constituent with the highest concentration, DIPE, was found to be not readily biodegradable [1]. 2 -methylpent-2 -ene was however predicted to be biodegradable (QSAR, BIOWIN v.4.10; see CSR, Chapter 8). At least inherent biodegradability of
2 -methylpent-2 -ene is supported by conclusions on biodegradability of C6 alkenes [2].
