Principles of method if other than guideline:

Fatty acids, coco, reaction products with N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine represent a mixture containing C8-, C10-, C12-, C14-, C16-, and C18-alkyl side chains. Based on this and the variable composition of the compound (alkyl chain distribution dependent on origin of the coco fatty acid) the calculation of physico-chemical properties for the mixture is not feasible. To get a hint on the physico-chemical data, a calculation was conducted for the C8, C12 (with 40-60 percentages in a substance) and the C18 derivates. The photodegradation of the C8, C12 and C18 derivates in air by reaction with OH radicals was calculated using EPIWIN v4.0, AOPWIN v1.92.

Fatty acids, coco, reaction products with N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine represent a mixture containing C8-, C10-, C12-, C14-, C16-, and C18-alkyl side chains. Based on this and the variable composition of the compound (alkyl chain distribution dependent on origin of the coco fatty acid) the calculation of physico-chemical properties for the mixture is not feasible. To get a hint on the physico-chemical data, a calculation was conducted for the C8, C12 (with 40-60 percentages in a substance) and the C18 derivates. The photodegradation of the C8, C12 and C18 derivates in air by reaction with OH radicals was calculated using EPIWIN v4.0, AOPWIN v1.92. Based on the reaction rate constants k(OH)=101.7341 x 10E-12 cm³/molecule x sec (C8 derivate), 107.3863 x 10E-12 cm³/molecule x sec (C12 derivate) and k(OH)=115.8646 x 10E-12 cm³/molecule x sec (C18 derivate, at 25°C each) and assuming a tropospheric OH radical concentration of 1.5 x 10E6 radicals/cm³ half-lives of 1.3 h (C8 derivate), 1.2 h (C12 derivate) and 1.1 h (C18 derivate) were calculated. These results indicate a very quick photodegradation of the C8, C12 and C18 derivates in the atmosphere by reaction with OH radicals. Taking into account the very low vapour pressures and Henry's Law constants the derivates will not be present in the gas phase of the atmosphere in appreciable amounts and therefore this elimination path will only be of minor importance.
