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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Additional information
Stability
In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the study hydrolysis as a function of pH (section 9.2.2.1) does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable.
Biodegradation
In water (screening): One reliable MITI-I (OECD TG 301C) study is available (CITI, 1988) in which the BOD removal after 14 days was 77.7% and the TOC removal after 14 days was 97.7% at a test concentration of 100 mg/L furfuryl alcohol. The substance is thus readily biodegradable (TOC removal >60% and pass level reached within a 10 day window). Pitter (1976) also reported biodegradation of 97.3% after 5 days (aerobic, adapted sludge).
In water and sediment: In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water and sediment (section 9.2.1.2 and 9.2.1.4) does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable.
In soil:In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, simulation testing on ultimate degradation in soil (section 9.2.1.3) does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable.
Bioaccumulation
Aquatic/sediment :In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex IX, the study Bioaccumulation in aquatic species, preferably fish (section 9.3.2), does not need to be conducted as the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (log Kow is 0.3).
Transport and distribution
Adsorption/desorption: In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the study Adsorption/desorption screening (section 9.3.1), does not need to be conducted as the substance has a low potential for adsorption (log Kow is 0.3). In addition the substance is readily biodegradable.
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.
