Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The test item is readily biodegradable.
Additional information
Two determinations of the biodegradability of methyl-ethylketone peroxide were performed according to OECD 301B and 301D, respectively. Methyl-ethylketone peroxide is evaluated as readily biodegradable in the CO2 Evolution Test and in the closed bottle test. Thus, determination of the hydrolysis as a function of pH of methyl-ethylketone peroxide is scientifically unjustified and not required under REACH.
Bioaccumulation potential was estimated with by applying logPow of 0.3 and 2.04 for the monomer and dimer, respectively. The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) was calculated to be 3.2 L/kg and 9.7 L/kg (monomer and dimer, 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.
