Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
In conclusion, there is no evidence that the substance is significantly absorbed via the dermal route or the inhalation route, but for worst case risk assessment, 100% absorption is proposed. The results of an oral repeated dose toxicity study indicate that the substance may be absorbed orally. This is further confirmed by the extensive metabolic studies conducted on the closely related substance lauramide DEA. Lauramide DEA, following absorption in rodents, is metabolized to the half-acid amides of succinic and of adipic acid. These metabolites would arise from the ω-hydroxylation and eventual β-oxidation to give the chain-shortened products. The metabolism studies conducted by Mathews et al. (1996) on the analogue demonstrate that the amide moiety is not hydrolysed; hence the lack of potential for amine formation. Since ω-hydroxylation and β- oxidation are the only noted means of metabolism (these are common metabolic pathways for dietary fatty acids and triglycerides), there is no possibility that reactive, or potentially mutagenic intermediates, can be formed. The metabolic data on the close structural analogue lauramide DEA corroborates the conclusion that the substance is not considered to be bioaccumulative, and would be metabolised for elimination via urine.

Description of key information

This written assessment of the toxicokinetic properties of Reaction products of 1,1’-iminodipropan-2-ol and tallow acids (myristic, palmitoleic, palmitic, heptadecenoic, heptadecanoic, linolenic, linoleic, oleic, stearic and arichidic) is based on the results obtained for the toxicological end‑points listed below with simultaneous reference to relevant physico-chemical data:

-        Acute oral toxicity

-        Acute dermal toxicity

-        Skin irritation

-        Eye irritation

-        Skin sensitisation

-        Subacute (28 day) oral toxicity

-        Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening test 

-        Bacterial reverse mutation test

-        In vitro chromosome aberration test

-        In vitro mammalian gene mutation test

100% absorption is assumed in all cases as a worst case assessment for the purposes of risk assessment. In reality, the substance is thought to be poorly absorbed on the basis of the dataset presented.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Bioaccumulation potential:
low bioaccumulation potential
Absorption rate - oral (%):
100
Absorption rate - dermal (%):
100
Absorption rate - inhalation (%):
100
