Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
The desired mode of action of the substance, "clinger" action following spray application to plant surfaces, involves formation of an oligomer/polymer film under the influence of sunlight (UV) exposure. This process appears to involve an increase in higher-order oligomers but is difficult to document by chemical analysis. Some indication of increased Mn (number average MW) and/or increased content of tetramer/higher-order oligomers has been reported following UV exposure in air.
Molecular structure indicates resistance to hydrolysis.
The substance is not readily biodegradable and was not rapidly biodegraded in a test using pre-adapted inoculum. However consideration of biodegradation data for close chemical analogues and the ubiquitous environmental distribution of similar phytoterpenes together with evidence for microbial metabolism leads to a weight-of-evidence conclusion that biodegradation will occur in soil and sediments.
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.
