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.

PHOTOTRANSFORMATION IN AIR

The property estimation model US EPA AOPWIN Version 1.92 (2010) estimates a short half-life for primary phototransformation in air for the Glucamide homologues C8 to C18 and C18u. The range of the half-lives is 0.9 to 1.7h (12h day, OH radical concentration 1.5 E+06 OH/cm3). This means that the registration substance is rapidly degraded by OH radical initiated primary phototransformation in air.

HYDROLYSIS

It is known that alkyl amides show hydrolysis half-lives >> 1 year (Larson, R, Weber, E, Reaction mechanisms in environmental organic chemistry, Lewis Publisher, 1994, ISBN 0-87371-258-7, p. 132). As the registration substance is readily biodegradable the overall degradation half-live in water is determined by biodegradation whereas the contribution by hydrolysis as well as photolysis can be neglected.

PHOTOTRANSFORMATION IN WATER

As the registration substance has no double bonds direct photolysis in water is not expected as the available radiation is filtered by ozone (wavelength >290 nm). Indirect photolysis mediated by sensitizers may be possible (see Phototransformation in air).

PHOTOTRANSFORMATION IN SOIL

As the registration substance has no double bonds direct photolysis on top soil is not expected as the available radiation is filtered by ozone (wavelength >290 nm).
