Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Readily biodegradable: 72 - 79% (CO2 evolution) after 28 d (OECD 301B)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
readily biodegradable

Additional information

Two studies, investigating the ready biodegradability of fatty acids, C8-10 (even numbered), di-and triesters with propylidynetrimethanol (CAS 11138-60-6) according to OECD 301B (CO2 Evolution Test), are available. In both studies domestic activated sludge (non-adapted) was used as inoculum. In the key study (Häner, 2007) a mean degradation of 72% after 28 days could be observed and in the supporting study (Muckle, 2008) the test substance was degraded to 78.9% after 29 days. In both studies the 10-day-window was reached. Therefore , the test substance can be classified as readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
