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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
This substance is a reaction mass of dipropylene glycol dibenzoate (DPGDB), diethylene glycol dibenzoate (DEGDB) and triethylene glycol dibenzoate (TEGDB). No testing has been performed on the reaction mass itself but data are available for DPGDB, DEGDB and TEGDB.
The key value used in the chemical safety assessment is:
Biodegradation in water; readily biodegradable (all components)
All studies were performed according to international test guidelines and in compliance with GLP. They are presented below by component. Where no data exist an overall statement that applies to the reaction mass has been made.
Modified Sturm ready biodegradation tests were performed on two of the components (DEGDB and DPGDB). In each test the positive control substance demonstrated rapid biodegradation (greater than 60% after 6/7 days) confirming theinoculum was viable and that the test was valid.Substances are considered to be readily degradable in this test if CO2 production is equal to or greater than 60% of the theoretical value within ten days of the level achieving 10%. For TEGDB a CO2 Evolution Test according to OECD 301B has been performed and the substance has been shown to be also readily biodegradable.
BOD/COD and anaerobic biodegradation tests were also performed on each component.
No further testing is proposed or required.
Biodegradation in water: screening tests
DPDGB
In the modified Sturm test, DPGDB was found to have degraded by 6% after 2 days, 62% after 12 days, and by 85% at the end of the 28 day biotic phase of the test (HLS 1998, VCL236/972256).
In this test, DPGDB met the criteria for ready biodegradability.
DEGDB
In the modified Sturm test,DEGDB was found to have degraded by 17% after 2 days, 71% after 10 days, and by 93% at the end of the 28 day biotic phase of the test (HLS 1998, VCL246/972257).
In this test, DEGDB met the criteria for ready biodegradability.
TEGDB
In the CO2 evolution test, TEGDB was found to have degraded by 16% after 2 days, 62% after 7 days, and by 92% at the end of the 28 day biotic phase of the test (HLS 1998, VCL287/973177).
In this test, TEGDB met the criteria for ready biodegradability.
In all cases the BOD / COD studies show all constituents to be inherently biodegradable and the anaerobic study showed them to be anaerobically biodegradable.
OTHER ENDPOINTS
Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests
In accordance with the adaptations found in column 2 of Annex IX, simulation studies of biodegradation in water and sediments are waived due to the demonstrated ready biodegradation of the components of the substance.
Biodegradation in soil
In accordance with the adaptations found in column 2 of Annex IX, simulation studies of biodegradation in soils are waived due to the demonstrated ready biodegradation of the components of the substance.
Mode of degradation in actual use
No data available.
