Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

readily biodegradable

Additional information

Several percentages of degradation were obtained by means of read across and QSARs to assess the biodegradability of MMAN. All of them clearly demonstrate the good biodegradation potential that monomethylamine nitrate should have under real biological conditions, given the great biodegradability of methylamine. Moreover, the available data on methylamine alone clearly show the biodegradability of this compound (96 to 107% degradation). Besides, the inorganic part of the substance consists of a common anionic compound of the environment (NO3-), and should not present any issue to be integrated to the environment, for example via a biotransformation in the nitrogen cycle.
