Additional information

One guideline study on the biodegradability of the substance is available. The study followed OECD guideline 301 C and was conducted with a mixture of sewage, soil and natural water as inoculum. The degradation rate after 28 days was 0 % based on O2 consumption of the inoculum (Dainippon Ink and Chemicals Inc., 2006).
