BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD) TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:A mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonatweh,ich may alsobe referredto as PFOS, FC-95, oras a component ofFC-206 or L3243. (1-Octanesulfonaicid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumbers were 501 and 895. The test sample isFC-206. Currentinformatioinndicatesitisa mixtureof0.67% PFOS, 17.5% diethyleneglycolbutylether,78.91% water,1.33% Sultone foamer,1% sodium octylsulfate0,.04% sodium laurylsulfate0,.5% polyoxyethylenemonooctylphenylether,and 0.05% benzotriazole.
The followingsummary appliestoa mixture with incompletely characterizedconcentrations ofimpurities.Data does not accurately reflectdegradation potentialof the fluorochemical component of the testsample.
