Mobility

The environmental fate was estimated using a level III fugacity model embedded in the EPI (estimation program
interface) Suite TM, provided by the US EPA. The model assumes a steady state condition between the total input
and output. The level III model does not require equilibrium between the defined media. The information provided is
intended to give the user a general estimate of the environmental fate of this product under the defined conditions of
the models.
If released into the environment this material is expected to distribute to the air, water and soil/sediment in the
approximate respective percentages;

Air : <5%
Water : 30 - 50%
Soil : 50 - 70%

The portion in water is expected to float on the surface.

Bioaccumulative potential

This preparation or material is not expected to bioaccumulate.
