Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The inhibition of microorganisms by Dimethylbutylamine (free base) is considered to be moderate as long as the pH value is not increased above 9 or 10, based on observations with P. putida ( EC50 (16 hrs) 480 mg/L with the free base) and activated industrial sludge (respriation not affecte up to 800 mg free base/L, and 1000 mg/L when neutralised).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 480 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 292 mg/L
Additional information
The inhibitory effect of N,N-Dimethylbutylamine on cell proliferation of Pseudomonas putida was determined according to an acknowledged national test method, DIN 38412 Part 8. Based on biomass the EC10(16 hrs)was 292 mg/L and the EC50 (16 hrs)was 480 mg/L with the free base (BASF AG, 1991). The respiration rate of activated industrial sludge was not affected at 400 and 800 mg/L (BASF AG, 1986).
It is therefore concluded that water treatment plants are not adversely affected if the substance is introduced in moderate amounts that do not raise the pH value above 9 or 10.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
