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

Several studies on the biodegradability in water are available on analogous substance CAS 16470-24-9 belonging to the Stilbene Fluorescent Whitening Agents category; furthermore some experimental data about the BOD5/COD ratio are available on the substance under registration. The substance can be considered as neither readily nor inherently biodegradable.

A field study at a full-scale STP on the analogous substance CAS 16090-02-1 (Poiger 1994, HERA project 2004) gave no evidence of biodegradation when the mass flow was monitored. It is assumed that the test substance would be non biodegradable in soil and sediment either.
