Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Additional information

According to EC 1907/2006, Annex IX, Column 2, soil simulation testing is not required if exposure of the soil compartment is unlikely. Amides, C16 and C18-C20 (even numbered, unsaturated), N,Nā€™-ethylenebis is insoluble in water and has an adsorption potential. Therefore, and as predicted by EPISuite, the substance will tend to remain in the STP facilities, mainly adsorbed to the sludge (Total removal of 94% (estimation)). Thus, only small amounts will be released into the environment and as its bioaccumulation potential is low, it is not expected to pose a risk on soil organisms (long term study is planned). Considering this information, testing for this endpoint is not deemed necessary.
