Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Degradation of CHP was slow but progressive throughout the test after a 5-day lag period. Mean oxygen consumption in mixtures containing CHP was equivalent to 10% of the theoretical value (25 mg O2/500 mL) after approximately 11 days, which increased to 19% at the end of the test (Day 28). A biodegradation plateau was not considered achieved by the end of the test. Substances are considered to be readily biodegradable in this type of test if oxygenconsumption is equal to or greater than 60% of the ThOD of the test mixtures within ten days of the consumption achieving 10%. Therefore, CHP was not considered to be readily biodegradable under the conditions of this test.
