BIODEGRADATION (BOD/COD)
TEST SUBSTANCE
Identity:Mixturecontainingperfluorooctanesulfonawthei,ch may alsobe referredto as PFOS, FC-95,or as a component of FC-203CF-X or FC-203CF. (1-Octanesulfoniacid)(CAS # 2795-39-3).
Remarks: The 3M productionlotnumber was 101. The testsample isFC203CF. Currentinformatioinndicateistisa mixtureof1% PFOS, 20% diethyleneglycolmonobutylether,70.2% water,2.75% Acrylicfoamer,3% sodium octylsulfate1,% triethnaolamine, 2% sulfonatedalkylethersalts,and 0.05% tolyltriazole.
The followingsummary appliesto a mixture with incompletely characterizedconcentrationsof impurities.Data does not accurately retlectthe degradation potentialof the fluorochemkal component of the
testsample.
