Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

3 biodegradation studies are available: In a Manometric Respirometry Test (OECD 301F) the test item reached a biodegradation rate of 27% based on CO2 after 28d. In a second study an enhanced CO2- Headspace test (OECD 310) covering a period of 60 days, the test item reached a biodegradation rate of 27% based on CO2 after 28d and 39 % based on CO2 after 60d.  In a third study, a BODIS test (ISO10708) , the test item reached a biodegradation rate of 40% based on THOD after 28d. The test substance therefore tuned out to be inherently biodegradable. 
Additional modeling using Biowin2&3 was performed for the main components to screen if the substance potencially fulfil criteria for PBT. Based on the results the main components Fatty acid, C18 -unsat. ,dimer, compds, with C14 –Dialkylamine (value Biowin3: 2.17) and Fatty acid, C18 -unsat. ,dimer, compds, with C16 -Dialkylamine (value Biowin3: 2.04) have to be considered to be persistent (P).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
inherently biodegradable, not fulfilling specific criteria

Additional information

3 biodegradation studies are available: In a Manometric Respirometry Test (OECD 301F) the test item reached a biodegradation rate of 27% based on CO2 after 28d. In a second study an enhanced CO2- Headspace test (OECD 310) covering a period of 60 days, the test item reached a biodegradation rate of 27% based on CO2 after 28d and 39 % based on CO2 after 60d. In a third study, a BODIS test (ISO10708) , the test item reached a biodegradation rate of 40% based on THOD after 28d. The test substance therefore turned out to be inherently biodegradable.

 

Based on the available test results derived from testing , it has to be concluded that some parts of the main component do not fulfil the criteria for biodegradation and have to be considered to be persistent.
