Biodegradability Testing
Biodegradability Testing (OECD 301F)

• The biological decay of a chemical is followed over time


• Ultimate: complete disappearance to CO2, H2O, mineral compounds
• A solution, or suspension, of the test substance in a mineral medium is
inoculated and incubated under aerobic conditions
• Inoculum sources are broadly defined to avoid industrial sources
• Degradation is followed by the determination of oxygen consumption
• The test lasts for 28 days (can be extended)
• Criterion for pass: 60% degradation in 28 days (for respirometric tests)
• For single component substances, the time from 10% to 60% degradation
must occur within a 10-day window
• Variability recognized by regulators – one favorable result indicates
favorable potential for biodegradation
Exxal™ Alcohols and their ethoxylates meet the
requirements to be readily biodegradable

26
Exxal Alcohols in Surfactant Applications

• Low pour point alcohols  ease of processing

• Effective building blocks for performance surfactants


- High surface tension lowering
- Fast wetting of surfaces
- Less gel phases for better handling

• Ethoxylate derivatives meet biodegradability requirements

Exxal Alcohols provide enhanced performance


in a wide range of surfactant applications
