Description of key information
Additional information
The ready biodegradation of reaction mass of 2,2'-oxybisbutane (DSBE), DIPE, SBA and 2-methylpropan-2-ol (TBA) was tested according to ISO 14593:2005 under GLP. No significant degradation (14%) of the test item was observed after 28 days. Reaction mass of 2,2'-oxybisbutane (DSBE), DIPE, SBA and 2-methylpropan-2-ol (TBA) is not readily biodegradable.
This finding is corroborated by the degradabilities of the main constituents of reaction mass of 2,2'-oxybisbutane (DSBE), DIPE, SBA and 2 -methylpropan-2 -ol (TBA): While SBA, which, however, makes up only approximately 2.7% of the reaction mass, was found to be readily biodegradable (3), the components DSBE (1), DIPE (2), and TBA (4) were not readily biodegradable. However, TBA may be inherently biodegradable.
