Expiry date of batch: 16 January 2018
Purity: 100 % (UVCB)
Stability: stable under test conditions
Storage condition of test material: Room temperature, protected from light - Oxygen conditions:
- aerobic
- Inoculum or test system:

- Sampling time:
- 7 d
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- inherently biodegradable, not fulfilling specific criteria
- Conclusions:
- Results from a Zahn-Wellens test indicate a substantial COD elimination of 71% of the test item after 3 hours by adsorption to the inoculum. The mean COD elimination of the test item after 7 days was 99%.
Remaining test item after use in exhaust processes in textile mills can be removed quantitatively from the waste water stream by absorption to inoculum or addition of flocculation agents. - Executive summary:
In a non-GLP DIN ISO EN 9888 Zahn-Wellens study eliminability of the test item from waste water was determined. Results indicate a substantial COD elimination of 71% of the test item after 3 hours by adsorption to the inoculum. The mean COD elimination of the test item after 7 days was 99%.
Reason for measuring elimination of the test item was the release to wastewater from exhaust processing in textile mills. The main source of release to wastewater from industrial users is expected to be unused active substances in spent baths.
The Zahn-Wellens-Test provides information on the removal of remaining test item after use in exhaust processes from the waste water stream.

- Sampling time:

- Details on results:
- Acidification of the test vessels on Day 56 followed by the final analyses on Day 57 was conducted according to the methods specified in the Test Guidelines. This acidification effectively kills the micro-organisms present and drives off any dissolved CO2 present in the test vessels. Therefore any additional CO2 detected in the Day 57 samples originated from dissolved CO2 that was present in the test vessels on Day 56 and hence the biodegradation value calculated from the Day 57 analyses is taken as being the final biodegradation value for the test item. The results of the inorganic carbon analysis of samples from the firstabsorber vessels on Day 57 showed an increase in all replicate vessels. Inorganic carbon analysis of the samples from the second absorber vessels on Day 57 confirmed that no significant carry-over of CO2 into the second absorber vessels occurred.
- Results with reference substance:
- Sodium benzoate attained 62% biodegradation after 14 days and 106% biodegradation after 56 days thereby confirming the suitability of the inoculum and test conditions. Biodegradation values in excess of 100% were considered to be due to sampling/analytical variation.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- inherently biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The test item attained 34% degradation after 28 days and 73% degradation after 56 days and therefore can be considered to be inherently biodegradable according to the OECD Section 3 revised introduction (2006). It is considered likely, that the target substance Amidoamine 2 (UVCB, low nitrogen) will show a comparable toxicity to microorganisms as Amidoamine (UVCB) based on the similar chemical composition.
- Executive summary:
The biodegradation of amidoamine test item was determined in a Klimisch 1 GLP study according to Part C.4-C of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 and OECD 301 B (CO2 Evolution Test). The test item attained 34% degradation after 28 days and 73% degradation after 56 days and therefore can be considered to be inherently biodegradable according to the OECD Section 3 revised introduction (2006). This study is considered relevant for the risk assessment.
It is considered likely, that the target substance Amidoamine 2 (UVCB, low nitrogen) will show a comparable toxicity to microorganisms as Amidoamine (UVCB) based on the similar chemical composition. It is expected that the higher concentration of saturated mono- and diglycerides and the presence of saturated triglycerides in Amidoamine 2 (UVCB, low nitrogen) will have no adverse effect on biodegradation.

Description of key information
The source substance attained 34% biodegradation after 28 days and 73% degradation after 56 days and therefore can be considered to be inherently biodegradable according to the OECD Section 3 revised introduction (2006). The target substance attained 25 % biodegradation after 28 d.
It is considered likely, that the target substance Amidoamine 2 (UVCB, low nitrogen) will show a comparable toxicity to microorganisms as Amidoamine (UVCB) based on the similar chemical composition. It is expected that the higher concentration of saturated mono- and diglycerides and the presence of saturated triglycerides in Amidoamine 2 (UVCB, low nitrogen) will have no adverse effect on biodegradation.
Results from a Zahn-Wellens test indicate a substantial COD elimination of 71% of the test item after 3 hours by adsorption to the inoculum. The mean COD elimination of the test item after 7 days was 99%.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
- Type of water:
- freshwater
