Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Biodegradability of DMIP based on indirect analysis of BOD was 99% after 14 days.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable
Additional information
Based on the Biodegradation and Bioaccumulation Data of Existing Chemicals Based on the CSCL Japan (Japan Chemical Industry Ecology -Toxicology and Information Center, 1992) biodegradability as a measure of BOD, TOC and test substance concentration of dimethyl isophthalate (DMIP) has been adequately characterized. Biodegradability of DMIP based on indirect analysis of BOD was 99% after two weeks. Direct analysis by HPLC and TOC measurement confirmed biodegradability over the two week study period to be 100% and 96%, respectively.
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.
