Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Abiotic degradation

It is assumed that abiotic degradation is of limited relevance for the environmental fate of HE Rape Oil, reaction product with diethanolamine. Furthermore, the structural analogue amides, C18(unsatd.), N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) is readily biodegradable (although does not fulfil the 10-day window criterion), and on this basis it is assumed that HE Rape Oil, reaction product with diethanolamine will also be readily biodegradable and as such data on hydrolysis is not required in accordance with Annex IX column 2 adaptation of REACH.

 

Biotic degradation

The read-across substance amides, C18(unsatd.), N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) was readily biodegradable in two reliable guideline compliant studies. It showed about 70% degradation (although failing 10-d window) with 28d in an OECD 301D compliant study and about 95% degradation within 15d in a DIN 38 412 compliant study. Therefore, it can be reasonably assumed that amides , C18(unsatd.), N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl) degrades rapidly in the environment under aerobic conditions without formation of persistent degradation products. Consequently biodegradation under aerobic conditions is considered the most relevant fate process in the aquatic and terrestrial environment.

 

Biodegradation in water and sediment

In accordance with Annex IX column 2 adaptation of REACH, testing is not required on the basis that the structural analogue, amides, C18(unsatd.), N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl), is readily biodegradable and it is considered that the registered substance will be biodegradable also. Therefore this endpoint is not required for environmental fate and pathways.

 

Biodegradation in soil

In accordance with Annex IX column 2 adaptation of REACH, testing is not required on the basis that the structural analogue, amides, C18(unsatd.), N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl), is readily biodegradable and it is considered that the registered substance will be biodegradable also. Therefore this endpoint is not required for environmental fate and pathways.
