Persistence and degradability
The organic portion of this preparation is expected to be readily biodegradable.
Mobility
The environmental fate was estimated using a level III fugacity model embedded in the EPI (estimation program
interface) Suite TM, provided by the US EPA. The model assumes a steady state condition between the total
input and output. The level III model does not require equilibrium between the defined media. The information
provided is intended to give the user a general estimate of the environmental fate of this product under the
defined conditions of the models.
If released into the environment this material is expected to distribute to the air, water and soil/sediment in the
approximate respective percentages;
Air                              : <5%
Water                            : 30 - 50%
Soil                             : 50 - 70%
The portion in water is expected to be soluble or dispersible.
Bioaccumulative potential
This preparation or material is not expected to bioaccumulate.
