Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Hydrolysis is a bond-making, bond-breaking process in which a molecule, RX, reacts with water forming a new R-O bond with the oxygen atom from water and breaking the R-X bond in the original molecule (March 1977). It is therefore important to differentiate between dissociation and hydrolysis. N-(Oleyl alkyl)- 1,3-propanediamine oleates is the salt of Oleyldiamine (CAS no 7173-62-8) and oleic acid (CAS no. 112-80-1) and will dissociate but not hydrolyse as there are no chemical bonds susceptible to abiotic hydrolysis under ambient conditions. Both dissociation products are readily biodegradable.

It is therefore considered scientifically not sensible to perform a hydrolysis test with N-(Oleyl alkyl)- 1,3-propanediamine oleates.
