Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

From the water surface the substance will not evaporate into the atmosphere.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

QSAR-Disclaimer

In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met.

 

According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.

 

For the assessment of Dibutylethanolamine (CAS 102 -81 -8) (Q)SAR results were used for the estimation of the Henry’s Law constant. The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.

 

Therefore, further experimental studies on the Henry’s Law Constant are not provided.

Assessment

Using the substance’s vapour pressure (VP= 5 Pa; BASF SE 2012, report no. 11L00536) and water solubility (WS= 4000 mg/L, BASF SE 2012, report no. 11L00536) as parameters for the calculation (VP/WS-method) the Henry’s Law Constant of Dibutylethanolamine was estimated to be 0.217 Pa*m³/mol. In addition, the HLC was supportingly calculated by using HENRYWIN v3.20 (EPISuite v 4.11) to be 9.83 E-04 Pa*m³/mol. These estimations refer to the uncharged molecule.

 

Based on the calculated data the substance is assessed to not evaporate into the atmosphere from the water surface; in addition, as the chemical is ionized at environmentally relevant pH levels, evaporation of the solved fraction of the substance into the atmosphere is assessed to be negligible.
