Description of key information

Within 28 days, a degradation rate of 5 % was determined. The reference compound sodium benzoate showed 76 % degradation after 14 days (Spoo-Klöppel, 2016). Therefore the substance is considered to be "Not Readily Biodegradable".

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Additional information

The substance is considered to be "Not Readily Biodegradable".
