Hydrolyse of Fatty acid C18- unsat, dimer compd. with coco alkylamine

The substanceFatty acid C18- unsat, dimer compd. with coco alkylamineis the salt of the componentsFatty acid C18- unsat, dimer(CAS: 61788-89-4)and coco alkylamine (CAS:61788-46-3). Once the substance is entering the aquatic environment it is expected that the substance with a great surplus of water molecules dissociates into its two main componentsFatty acid C18- unsat, dimerand coco alkylamine. Based on this assumption it is justified to evaluate both components with regard to their behavior in the environment individually.

Coco alkylamine:

In Annex VIII column 2 of the Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 REACH concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), it is suggested, that a study on the "Hydrolysis as function of pH" does not need to be conducted if the " substance is is readily biodegradable". Cocoalkyl amine is readily biodegradable, therefore no testing for hydrolysis is required.

Fatty acids C18-unsat., dimers:

In accordance with REACH Annex VIII column 2, the study does not need to be conducted if the substance is highly insoluble in water. Fatty acids C18-unsat, dimers (C36), is highly insoluble in water, therefore further testing for hydrolyse is not feasible.
