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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Since 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate is readily biodegradable an indirect exposure to soil via sewage sludge transfer is unlikely. In addition, no direct releases to soil from point sources are known; therefore, significant exposure of terrestrial compartments is not expected. At production sites methacrylates are handled in closed systems for polymerisation. Diffuse releases into the environment may occur from residual monomers in the polymeric products. Most of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate is industrially converted to the quaternary ammonium salt and polymerized for flocculent use in water treatment. This chemical is also used as a component monomer of copolymers in die polymer industry, and die products are used for paper agents, coatings and others.
Furthermore, the physical and chemical properties of 2-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate demonstrate a low potential for adsorption (log Koc = 1.29) and bioaccumulation (log Pow = 1.13), respectively.
In conclusion, based on such low exposure levels studies on terrestrial organisms are not required. Thus, risk assessment will be based on EPM.
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.
