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

The ready biodegradability of the substance in water was tested in a CO2 Evolution Test (Modified Sturm Test) according to the OECD Guideline 301 B for 28 days (and 29 days after acidification). During the experiment, the substance reached the criteria for ready biodegradability. After a lag phase of 14 days, the degradation extent started to increase to a final value of 69.3% after 28 days. The reference compound sodium acetate reached the pass levels for ready biodegradability within 17 days.

In addition, biodegradability in water and sediment was calculated by ECOSAR v1.11 for each of the three components of the substance. According to the results N-[2-(decanoylamino)ethyl]decanamide (CAS 51139-08-3) is the only readily biodegradable component. Hence, the other two components provide the most conservative values to estimate biodegradability of the substance.

Nevertheless, the EPA recommends that empirical measures should be preferentially considered. According to the study report, the substance is readily biodegradable in water.
