Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Rapid biodegradation of Oxazolidinyl ethyl methacrylate (OXEMA) was observed in a ready biodegradation test, as it passed the criterion of 60% for demonstrating “ready biodegradability” in the manometric respirometry test. Nevertheless, the rate of biodegradation was slightly slower than that required to meet the associated 10-day window criterion, therfore Oxema is “readily biodegradable, but failing the 10-day window”, according to the Introduction to Section 3 (Degradation and Accumulation) of the OECD Guidelines (OECD, 2006).
Oxema has a low log Kow (log Kow< 1), therefore has a low potential for bioaccumulation in biological tissues and a low potential for sorption to organic matter.
Based on its phys-chem properites, the substance therefore has a low potential for adsorption to soil or sediments, and a low potential to volatilize from water or soil to the atmosphere.
Dipropylene glycol methyl ether degrades rapidly in the atmosphere.
Biodegradation of the DPM was confirmed by measurement
of substantial mineralization (CO2production 76%) and DOC
removal (96%) after 28 days.
Additional information
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.
