Description of key information
Additional information
Stearic acid, esters with methyl α-D-glucoside is readily biodegradable within 28 days in test performed according to OECD guideline 301D (Ready Biodegradability: Closed Bottle Test). At a concentration of 3.3 mg/L 89% were degraded after 28 days by O2 consumption, at 2.3 mg/L 81%, respectively.
The results are supported by read across data to Isostearic acid, esters with methyl α-D-glucoside. In the study according to OECD Guideline 301 B with activated sludge as inoculum, biodegradation of Isostearic acid, esters with methyl α-D-glucoside reached approximately 76% in 28 days.
According to the REACH Regulation (Annex IX, 9.2) further degradation testing shall be considered if the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I indicates the need to investigate further the degradation of the substance.
No further tests on biodegradation were performed.
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.
