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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
After evaporation or exposure to air, the substance will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
QSAR-disclaimer:
In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met.
According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.
For the assessment of the DMCHA (CAS 98-94-2) (Q)SAR results were used for phototransformation in air.
The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint is sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.
Therefore, further experimental studies on phototransformation in air are not provided.
Assessment:
Based on an estimated OH radical rate constant of 1.03 E-10 cm3/(molecule*sec), the half-life of DMCHA was calculated to be 3.742 hours (= 0.156 days; conditions: sensitiser for indirect photolysis: OH; 0.5 E06 OH/cm3, 24-h d; BASF SE, 2015). Based on the EPI Suite calculation the substance will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes, after evaporation or exposure to air.
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.
