Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The substance has been shown to be not readily biodegradable according to the test method described in the OECD Guideline 301 C (Ready Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (I)).

As primary degradation product of 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl acrylate hydrolysis, the corresponding alcohol 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctan-1-ol, resulting from ester cleavage was identified. Although, no study for simulation testing in soil for the 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl acrylate is available, such a study is available for the 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctan-1-ol, showing that also the alcohol is rapidly degraded by 93.8 – 96.5% within 28 days in soil.

Simulation testing on ultimate degradation in surface water is not proposed by the registrant as direct and indirect exposure of the aquatic compartment is unlikely. The substance is a monomer manufactured and used industrially in the production of polymers, plastics (thermoplastics), and polymerization processes.

In accordance with column 2 of REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) Annex IX, the soil and sediment simulation testing (required in sections 9.2.1.3 and 9.2.1.4) do not need to be conducted as direct and indirect exposure of soil and sediment is unlikely. The substance is a monomer manufactured and used industrially in the production of polymers, plastics (thermoplastics), and polymerization processes.
