BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may alsobe referredtoas PFOS, FC-95, oras a component of FC-602. (1Octanesulfoniaccid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was 501. The testsample isFC602. Currentinformationindicatesitisa mixtureof 1% PFOS, 12% diethyleneglycolbutylether,61.05% water,20% ethyleneglycol,2% Sultone foarner,1% sodium octylsulfate1,% sodium decylsulfate1,% magnesium sulfate0,.7% xanthan gum, 0.1% starch,0.1% n-(3-chloroallyl)hexaminium chloridea,nd 0.05% tolytdazole.
The followingsummafy applies to a mixture withincompletely characterizedconcentrations of impurities.Data may not accurately reflectthe biodegradabilityof the tluorochemical component of the test sample.
