Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Interpretation of results:
not inherently biodegradable
Conclusions:
Poorly biodegradable
Executive summary:

The results suggest that the substance is poorly biodegradable, but insufficient data were provided in the summaries supplied by ECHA to comment on whether toxicity or solubility limits could have affected the results. Modelling with EPISuite would indicate a low level of biodegradation, so it is likely that this result gives the correct range of results.
