Toxicity
Aquatic toxicity: No further relevant information available.
Persistence and degradability No further relevant information available.
Behaviour in environmental systems:
Bioaccumulative potential No further relevant information available.
Mobility in soil No further relevant information available.
Additional ecological information:
General notes:
Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to increased pH-values. A high pH-
value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably reduced, so that after
the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
Water hazard class 1 (German Regulation) (Self-assessment): slightly hazardous for water.
Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.
Results of PBT and vPvB assessment
PBT: Not applicable.
vPvB: Not applicable.
Other adverse effects No further relevant information available.

13 Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Recommendation

Must not be disposed of together with household garbage. Do not allow product to reach sewage
system.
