Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment: overall result

Reference
Name:
(C16)DEQ
Type of composition:
boundary composition of the substance
State / form:
solid: bulk
Reference substance:
Composition 1
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

Biodegradation data of MDEA Esterquat C16 is not available, but the structurally similar source substance MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd. was readily biodegradable in an OECD 301 B test. The structural and physicochemical similarities between the source and the target substances justify the read-across hypothesis.

The log KOW is calculated to be 3.0. The calculation is based on the measured water solubility and n-octanol solubility of the test item because the test item is a surface active substance and the shake flask method is not appropriate.

No conclusion can be reached based on available information on T properties of the substance.
