Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Additional information
When release in water compartment:
N,N'-dithiodimorpholine is hydrolytically unstable. Its half-life is less than one day within a pH range of 4 to 9.
Ultimate biodegradation C02 evolution measurements on the DTDM showed a significant C02 evolutions (>25%) that corresponds to 76% biodegradation after 49 days. For DTDM an unusually long induction or acclimation period of 21 days was found before significant C02 evolution occurred.
As a consequence, DTDM can be considered as both inherently biodegradable and quickly hydrolysable and will not persist in the aquatic environment.
When release in soil and sediment compartments:
The partition coefficient of DTDM was assessed in a study (Gancet, 2010) performed in accordance with OECD testing guideline 117 and GLP requirements. The partition coefficient of DTDM was of 2.67 at 22°C and pH = 7.7.This value indicates that DTDM is characterized by a low potential of adsorption. As a consequence, DTDM would not persist in the soil and sediment compartments because it is not expected to adsorb on soils and sediments.
Bioaccumation potential
The partition coefficient of DTDM was assessed in a study (Gancet, 2010) performed in accordance with OECD testing guideline 117 and GLP requirements. The partition coefficient of DTDM was of 2.67 at 22°C and pH = 7.7.This value indicates that DTDM bioaccumulation is not expected.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
