Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 feasibility of biodegradation was investigated in a preliminary test and further examined by different ways of application.
The preliminary study was performed with a mixed inoculum of non-adapted soil and non-adapted activated sludge in the Manometric Respirometry Test for a period of 28 days.
There have been experiments to improve the bioavailability by the use of silica gel, silicon oil or soil. In part due to separation from the carrier material, in part due to the practical properties of the test item this was not successful. Therefore, it was concluded that no improvement of the bioavailability could be achieved.
Due to the low solubility and thus bioavailability of the test item under the conditions of the OECD 301 tests further studies for ready biodegradability are not feasible.
In a second study the registration substance has been investigated in an guideline comparable study (79/831/EWG (part C) ; DIN 38 409, part 52) to be not readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
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.
