Description of key information
As no biodegradation data are available for the substance "Reaction mass of cyclododecanol and cyclododecanone" biodegradation data derived for its constituents were used for the assessment. The biodegradation potential of cyclododecanol was tested in the "Closed Bottle Test" according to OECD TG 301 D (Hüls AG, 1994). The oxygen consumption of a mixed bacteria population from the effluent of a STP was monitored over a period of 28 days. Furthermore, cyclododecanole was tested in the "BODIS Test" (BOD of insoluable chemicals) according to the draft ISO guideline 10708 (Hüls AG, 1994). The biodegradation potential of cyclododecanone was also tested in the "BODIS Test" (BOD of insoluable chemicals) according to the draft ISO guideline 10708 (Hüls AG, 1989).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
In the three mentioned tests described above both constituents of the substance "Reaction mass of cyclododecanol and cyclododecanone" were observed to be readily biodegradable (88% to 100% degradation within 28 days). Therefore, it is strongly indicated that the substance "Reaction mass of cyclododecanol and cyclododecanone" is readily biodegradable.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
