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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

ABIOTIC
DEGRADATION IN AIR
DIRECT
PHOTOLYSIS in air
PRIMARY
ALKYL AMINES do not absorb light >290 nm (ozone band) and therefore a
direct photolysis in air will not occur.
INDIRECT PHOTOLYSIS in air
OH radical induced indirect photolysis of Primary alkyl amines can be estimated with US EPA AOPWIN Program estimating low degradation half-lives.(24 hour day and OH radical concentration of 500000 radicales/cm3) For the C12-C18 saturated homologue half-life 7.1 - 8.4 h are calculated (OH radical reaction). For 18' the half-life is 3.6 h (OH radical reaction) and 2.1 h (Ozone reaction).
Table: OH and Ozone raction half-lives of Primary alkyl amines calculated with US EPA EPIWIN 4.0
| Half-life (h) | ||
| Chain lenght | OH radicale | Ozone |
| C12 | 8.40 | n.a. |
| C14 | 7.90 | n.a. |
| C16 | 7.50 | n.a. |
| C18 | 7.10 | n.a. |
| C18' | 3.60 | 2.1 |
ABIOTIC DEGRADATION IN WATER
HYDROLYSIS
PRIMARY ALKYL AMINES have no functional groups which could be hydrolyzed under envrionmental conditions as stated in OECD Guideline 111. In addition PRIMARY ALKYL AMINES are readily biodegradable.
DIRECT
PHOTOLYSIS in water
PRIMARY
ALKYL AMINES do not absorb light >290 nm (ozone band) and therefore a
direct photolysis in water will not occur.
INDIRECT PHOTOLYSIS in water
In principal OH radical initiated photodegradation in water is possible..
ABIOTIC DEGRADATION IN SOIL
DIRECT PHOTOLYSIS in soil
PRIMARY ALKYL AMINES do not absorb light >290 nm (ozone band) and therefore a direct photolysis on soil surface will not occur.
INDIRECT PHOTOLYSIS in soil
OH radical induced indirect photolysis of Primary alkyl amines in air can be estimated with US EPA AOPWIN Program estimating low degradation half-lives (see chapter 5.1.1). Therefore Primary alkyl amines may be degraded on soil surface by indirect photolysis but as the amines are rapildly biodegraded in aerobic soils (see IUCLID Section 5.2.3) indirect photolysis will play a minor role in degradation.
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).
