Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

No experimental data are available. According to REACH regulation, Annex IX, section 9.3.2., column 2, no study regarding bioaccumulation needs to be conducted if the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (for instance a logKow < 3). N-methylaminoethanol has a measured logKow of -0.91, thus possessing no potential to accumulate in organisms. For completeness, calculations for the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of the substance were performed using several QSAR tools (OASIS Catalogic, VEGA, US-EPA EPIWIN (software BCFBAFv3.00) and T.E.S.T. The low bioaccumulation potential is thereby confirmed. The terrestrial bioaccumulation potential is no mandatory requirement under REACH for N-methylethanolamine.

Thus, N-Methylethanolamine is not expected to be accumulative in organisms due to the low substance specific logPow of -0.91.
