Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The main components of CPSS 53 are rapidly converted to 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol (CAS 2403-88-5), palmitic acid and stearic acid. The fatty acids are biodegraded by microorganisms. 

The other product of ester hydrolysis, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol, is not readily biodegradable, as seen in the biodegradation study (OECD 301C) and in an OECD SIDS dossier for 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol; nor does it hydrolyze at pH 4, 7 and 9 at 50 °C after 5 days.  Using EPIWIN to estimate degradation for this peperidin-4-ol, the BIOWIN2 (value of 0.3910) and BIOWIN6 (value of 0.4812) predictions are below 0.5 whereas BIOWIN3 predicts a half live between weeks-months (value of 2.6118). This is evaluated as “not readily biodegradable”.
Due to the fact that only primary degradation of CPSS 53 is detected, a clear conclusion whether the persistence criterion (P of PBT) is met could not be drawn from the available data. Although for the main components of CPSS 53 rapid primary degradation is proven, the degradation product 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-ol might fulfill the P / vP criterion. Therefore for precautionary reasons CPSS 53 is considered to fulfill the P criterion.
