12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
12.1 European Parliament Regulation (EC) No. 648/2004 states that a surfactant is readily biodegradable if the
level of biodegradability in one of several OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development)
screening tests is 60% or more within 28 days. The following surfactants used in Formula 1 100 Washes are readily
biodegradable according to the Regulation No. 648/2004 utilizing the OECD screening tests.
Biodegradation of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonates (EU: 246-680-4 / CAS: 25155-30-0 / 5-15% by weight)
Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonates (LAS) have been used throughout the world as the main anionic surfactant in both
household and industrial detergent products. As a result of their wide spread use, the biodegradation characteristics of
LAS have been studied thoroughly under both laboratory and environmental conditions.
Primary biodegradation, which can reach 100% in three days, involves oxidation of the carbon atoms at the alkyl side
chain to form transient, low toxicity sulfophenyl carboxylate intermediates. This is followed by complete breakdown
characterized by the cleavage of the aromatic ring and total minimization to carbon dioxide, water and inorganic
sulfonates.
Biodegradation of Betains (EU: 263-058-8 / CAS: 61789-40-0 / < 5% by weight)
Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) is a synthetic surfactant derived from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine. Used
as a secondary anionic surfactant in many surfactant systems, these compounds prove to be readily biodegradable.
In the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) test 301B Study (Modified Strum Test), Betain
was readily biodegradable. The degradation to carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts and biomass occurs quantatively and
no recalcitrant metabolites are formed.
12.2 Avoid contaminating waterways.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

materials.
