Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolsis

The hydrolysis study does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable.

Biodegradation in water

The ready biodegradability of the reaction mass was investigated according to the OECD guideline 301 F (1992). All validity criteria were fulfilled. The reaction mass reached the pass level of 60% for ready biodegradability in the Manometric Respirometry Test within the 10-d window and, therefore, can be termed as readily biodegradable. The procedure control sodium benzoate reached 86% biodegradation after 14 days, thus confirming suitability of inoculum and test conditions.

Biodegredation in water and sediment

The study does not need to be conducted as the substance is readily biodegradable.

Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment

The bioaccumulation study does not need to be conducted as the log Kow for the substance is -0.69.

Adsorption / desorption

The adsorption/desorption study does not need to be conducted as the substance has a log Kow 3 (i.e. -0.69) and it and its degredation products decompose rapidly.
