Description of key information

Biodegradation in water: screening tests: Not readily biodegradable: 0 – 7.2% (BOD, TOC removal, LC) in 14 days (OECD TG 301C), 0% (DOC) in 28 days (OECD TG 301E), 0% (DOC) in 28 days (OECD TG 302B)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed
