Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The ready biodegradability of the test item was determined with non-adapted activated sludge in the Manometric Respirometry Test for a period of 28 days according to OECD guideline 301 F .The test item concentration selected as appropriate was 30 mg/L, corresponding to a ThOD of 51 mg O2/L per test vessel.
The mean oxygen depletion in the inoculum control was 9.9 mg O2/L on day 28. The pass level > 60 % was reached by the functional control within 2 days. The biodegradation reached a maximum of 100 % degradation on day 27. In the toxicity control containing both test and reference item 64 % degradation occurred within 14 days with a maximum of 68% after 28 days. The test item does not inhibit the bacteria in the sewage sludge.
Both test item replicates reached the 10 % level (beginning of biodegradation) within 1 day. The 60 % pass level was not reached within 28 days by the test item replicates. After 28 days the mean biodegradation was 40 %.
 
The validity criteria of the guideline are fulfilled.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Additional information

Both test item replicates reached the 10 % level (beginning of biodegradation) within 1 day. The 60 % pass level was not reached within 28 days by the test item replicates. After 28 days the mean biodegradation was 40 %. The test item is classified as not readily biodegradable within 28 days.
