One valid key study is available to assess the biodegradation in water of Chimexane NB.

This study was performed over a test period of 28 days with a non adapted activated sludge from a predominantly municipal plant according to OECD 301B and EU method C.4-C with GLP statement at Dr. U. Noack-Laboratorien. The biodegradation of Chimexane NB was 58% at the end of the 10-d window and 84% after 28 days. Since the 10d-window does not apply to test substances representing a mixture of homologous compounds as technical surfactants, Chimexane NB is considered as readily biodegradable.

Based on this result, simulation testing on ultimate degradation does not need to be conducted.
