Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Phototransformation in air
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Calculated half-life in air is 0.59 -0.66 days
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No experimental studies investigating the phototransformation in air of amides, C16-C18 (even numbered) are available. Because the substance is a composition of different homologues, the phototransformation in air was calculated for representative components (stearamide and palmitamide) using AOPWIN v1.92.The results indicate that the components of amides, C16-C18 (even numbered) are susceptible to indirect photodegradation in air. The estimated half-life for the reaction with OH-radicals is 0.59 – 0.66 d (24 h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm³). However, this is not expected to be a relevant environmental fate process, since the components of amides, C16-C18 (even numbered)are not expected to be present in the atmosphere based on the low vapour pressure under ambient conditions (0.0000892 Pa (25°C)) and low volatilisation. Therefore, phototransformation in air is not relevant for amides, C16-C18 (even numbered).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
