Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Alkenes C10-12, C11 rich are considered to be readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A standard biodegradation screening study is not available for Alkenes C10 -12, C11 rich. Instead, data has been read across from a category member with a similar carbon number range. Turner and Watkinson (1985) conducted a closed bottle ready biodegradation screening study with alkenes C10/11/12/13. After 28 days 60 -67 biodegradation was observed, indicating that the test substance is readily biodegradable. The same study reports results from a Modified Sturm test which showed 32 -43% biodegradation over 28 days.
These results allow us to conclude that alkenes C10 -12, C11 rich are 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.
