Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

There is no measured data available on aquatic/sediment bioaccumulation for the substance (CAS: 92128-22-8). According to REACH Annex XI, alternative approach should be considered before a new vertebrate test is conducted. The following aspects have been taken into account and in conclusion no aquatic/sediment bioaccumulation test is recommended and the substance is expected to be not bioaccumulative.
- Increased log Kow but low water solubility and, therefore, high potential to surface adsorption and low potential for bioaccumulation. This is supported by high log Koc.
- Experimental study difficult to perform for a UVCB substance.
- Available data on log Kow allow PBT/vPvB assessment and evaluation of B and vB property of the substance. A new experimental study would have no influence on the outcome that the substance is not PBT/vPvB as the substance is not P/vP and not T.
In conclusion, bioaccumulation property may be derived from available log Kow and a new experimental vertebrate study is not expected to be needed.

Additional information

Three substances were chosen as representative to allow QSAR estimation of the substance`s bioaccumulation potential: a) and b) are educts and c) is a reaction product.

a) Octadecanoic acid (CAS 57-11-4):

The bioaccumulation factor of octadecanoic acid was estimated to be 10 L/kg using the BCFBAF model included in the EPI-Suite Programm concluding that the substance has alowpotential to bioaccumulate in biota. Within the scope of the Persistency-Bioaccumulation-Toxicity (PBT)-Assessment, the substancedoes not fulfill the B-criterion. Octadecanoic acid falls within the applicability domain described above and, therefore, the predicted value can be considered reliable.

b) 1,3 -Propanediamine, N,N-dimethyl- (CAS 109-55-7):

The bioaccumulation factor of 1,3 -Propanediamine, N,N-dimethyl- was estimated to be 3.162 L/kg using the BCFBAF model included in the EPI-Suite Programm concluding that the substance has a low potential to bioaccumulate in biota. Within the scope of the Persistency-Bioaccumulation-Toxicity (PBT)-Assessment, the substance does not fulfill the B-criterion. 1,3 -Propanediamine, N,N-dimethyl- falls within the applicability domain described above and, therefore, the predicted value can be considered reliable.

c) Fatty acid, tall-oil, compound with N-[3-(dimethylamino)-propyl]-tall-oil amides (CAS 92128-22-8):

The bioaccumulation factor of fatty acid, tall-oil, compound with N-[3-(dimethylamino)-propyl]-tall-oil amides was estimated to be 70.79 L/kg using the BCFBAF model included in the EPI-Suite Programm concluding that the substance has a low potential to bioaccumulate in biota. Within the scope of the Persistency-Bioaccumulation-Toxicity (PBT)-Assessment, the substance does not fulfill the B-criterion. Fatty acid, tall-oil, compound with N-[3-(dimethylamino)-propyl]-tall-oil amides falls within the applicability domain described above and, therefore, the predicted value can be considered reliable.

Concluding, from two educts and a reaction product the highest BCF = 70.79 L/kg is that of the product and this is used for the assessment.
