Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No data were available on DEA acetate, but a modified Sturm test has found that TEA acetate is inherently biodegradable.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:: inherently biodegradable

Additional information

A good-quality OECD Guideline screening test, performed to GLP, has been carried out to assess the biodegradability of a structurally related compound, TEA acetate. Duplicate CO₂ evolution tests found that 60% biodegradation was not reached within 10 days. TEA acetate was, however, significantly biodegraded (50 and 63%) after 28 days (Desmares-Koopmans, 2010). On this basis, the substance was considered inherently biodegradable.

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.
