Description of key information

Hydrolysis

Dodecyl(2-hydroxy-3-sulphonatropropyl)dimethylammonium is a UVCB substance, thus it is anticipated that there will be technical limitations regarding chemical analysis, which will mean that verifying analytical results from a hydrolysis study will not be technically feasible. The hydrolysis data requirement has therefore been waived.

 

Biodegradation

The biodegradability of dodecyl(2-hydroxy-3-sulphonatopropyl)dimethylammonium was determined in accordance with the version of OECD TG 301C (MITI-I test) that is the standard method used under Japanese law for the notification of new chemical substances in Japan.  The test substance was applied at 100 mg/L in the presence of a composite inoculum at a concentration of 30 mg suspended solids/L.  Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was recorded continuously during the 28-day incubation and was related to the theoretical demand (ThOD) that corresponds to mineralisation of all components to their highest oxidation state, based on a composite empirical formula representing the sum of all components. In addition, measurements of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) were made in all vessels at the end of the test and the media were also analysed by LC-MS to detect residues of constituents initially present and undegraded breakdown products and intermediates.

According to OECD TG 301C, the criterion of ready biodegradability is that the percentage biodegradation by BOD reaches 60% on Day 28. Since the mean measured BOD reached 63% ThOD after 28 days, the test item is considered readily biodegradable

 

Adsorption / desorption

In accordance with REACH Annex VIII column 2, the study does not need to be conducted if, based on the underlying physicochemical properties, the substance is expected to have a low potential for adsorption (e.g. the substance has a low octanol-water partition coefficient). The Log Kow value of dodecyl(2-hydroxy-3-sulphonatropropyl)dimethylammonium was calculated using KOWWIN (v1.68) to be -1.30, indicating low potential for adsorption.
