Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Abiotic degradation

Since the substance is readily biodegradable, data on hydrolysis is not required in accordance with Annex VIII of REACH. Therefore, abiotic degradation is considered to be of limited relevance for the environmental fate of this substance.

Biotic degradation

Two studies were available to assess the biodegradation potential of C12-14 alkylmorpholine. Based on the result of the most recent study (Ginkel CG, 2012), which showed biodegradation of 64% withing 28 days, the test substance was classified as readily biodegradable. It can therefore be reasonably assumed that the substance degrades in the environment under aerobic conditions without formation of persistent degradation products.

Biodegradation in water and sediment

In accordance with Annex IX column 2 adaptation of REACH, testing is not required, since the substance is readily biodegradable.

Biodegradation in soil

In accordance with Annex IX column 2 adaptation of REACH, testing is not required, since the substance is readily biodegradable.
