Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

If released to the atmosphere, vapor phase DMT(EHTG) will be degraded by photochemically induced hydroxyl radicals, with a half-life of ca. 13.3 hrs. A Henry’s Law constant of 5.3E-04 predicts that DMT(EHTG) will volatilise moderately from surface water; half-lives from a model river or lake are 5 hours and 10.5 days, respectively.  DMT (EHTG) has a high octanol water partition coefficient (estimated log Kow = 8.5) and a very low water solubility. Based on Level III distribution modeling it is estimated that the majority of DMT[EHTG] released to the environment will partition into soil (75.2%) and water (18.9 %), with a smaller amount in sediment (5.25%).

DMT (EHTG) is readily biodegradable. Upon introduction to the environment, the compound has demonstrated the potential to rapidly biodegrade.

The bioaccumulation potential for this compound is low according to baseline BCF model.
