Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
The test item is not readily biodegradable when exposed to microorganisms maintained in an aerobic, aqueous mineralized environment. The mean biodegradation of the test substance was 0% after the 28 days and did not meet the test criteria for ready biodegradability (requiring 60% in 28 days)
