Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The substance is readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
Additional information
There is no available experimental data on the biodegradability of the reaction product of 2,4-Dinitrotoluene and 2,6-Dinitrotoluene and hydrogen, deaminated (MCHAmix, EC 943 -517 -5). Therefore read-across approach was applied to its constituent, 2-Methylcyclohexylamine (CAS 7003-32-9) and to the similar compound 2,6-Dimethylcyclohexylamine (CAS 6850-63-1).
In order to assess the biodegradation potential of the test substance, an OECD 301C study was performed with source chemical 2-Methylcyclohexylamine (CAS 7003-32-9) (BASF AG, 1988). According this study the value of DOC removal was 88% within 24 days. Another study with the cemical 2,6-Dimethylcyclohexylamine (CAS 6850-63-1) showed the value of DOC removal to be 95% within 28 days. Both substances are readily biodegradable, according OECD criteria.
Based on the data from the read-across approach the target substance MCHAmix is considered to be readily biodegradable.
Experimental data on the biodegradation in water, sediment and soil of the reaction product of MCHAmix (EC943 -517 -5) are not available. Based on the screening tests on biodegradability (5.2.1) it is expected that the MCHAmix is biodegraded through growth linked processes.
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.
