Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Interpretation of results:
inherently biodegradable, not fulfilling specific criteria
Conclusions:
A TOC-removal rate of 8% and a value 5% of the theoretical BOD in 28 days indicates a low inherent biodegradibility.
