PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- Name:
- 3,3'-[oxybis(ethane-2,1-diyloxy)]dipropan-1-amine
- Type of composition:
- legal entity composition of the substance
- State / form:
- liquid
- Reference substance:
- 3,3'-[oxybis(ethane-2,1-diyloxy)]dipropan-1-amine
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
PBT / vPvB - Assessment for the parent compound 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) (CAS 4246-51-9):
Based on an enhanced OECD 301 B test, 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) (CAS 4246-51-9) is not readily biodegradable with a degradation of less than 10% after 60 days; BASF SE, 2011, Project no. 22G0401/11G051). Therefore, 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) should be assessed potentially P / vP from a precautionary point of view. The log Kow (-1.25, measured, BASF AG 1989, report no. BRU 89.027) as well as several QSAR calculations (calculated BCF values range between 0.75 L/kg and 9.27 L/kg, BASF SE, 2020) indicate no potential for bioaccumulation (not B/vB). The substance is not toxic (not T) since the lowest EC10 is > 0.01 mg/L (algae, 72-h ECr10 = 31.3 mg/L, BASF AG, 1990; report no.2/0505/89) and it holds no relevant classification.
In conclusion, the substance is considered to be not PBT / not vPvB.
PBT / vPvB - Assessment for modelled metabolites of 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) (CAS 4246-51-9):
ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment (v3.0, June 2017), Chapter R.11.4.1 specifies that “Constituents, impurities and additives should normally be considered relevant for the PBT/vPvB assessment when they are present in concentration of ≥ 0.1% (w/w)” […] “Similar arguments apply to relevant transformation/degradation products”.
In order to identify the relevant degradation products of 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) a standard information requirement according to Column 1, Section 9.2.3. of Annex IX to REACH and for purposes of an assessment of potential PBT/vPvB properties, the metabolites were modelled using CATALOGIC 301C v11.15 – July 2018 (OASIS CATALOGIC v5.13.1.156).
Overall, the model CATALOGIC 301C v11.15 calculated 30 metabolites (Table 1) identifying 6 metabolites as relevant degradation products in terms of PBT/vPvB assessment, with an estimated quantity of ≥0.1% (equivalent to quantity setting in OASIS CATALOGIC: 0.001-2 [mol/mol parent]).
Table 1: QSAR prediction for CAS 4246-51-9 using CATALOGIC 301C v11.15 – July 2018 (OASIS CATALOGIC v5.13.1.156; metabolites with a quantity > 0.001 mol/mol parent (approx. 0.1%) after 28 d are highlighted by grey background and bold type; metabolite no: according to (Q)SAR model Catalogic v11.15 – July 2018 (OASIS CATALOGIC v5.13.156))

(metabolites which are predicted at quantity >0.001 after 28 d are highlighted in grey and written in bold letters)
(metabolite no: according to (Q)SAR model CATALOGIC 301C v11.15 – July 2018 (OASIS CATALOGIC v5.13.1.156))
Persistence (“P/vP”):
In order to assess the biodegradation potential of the relevant degradation products, the (Q)SAR model CATALOGIC 301C v11.15 – July 2018 (OASIS CATALOGIC v5.13.1.156) was applied.
Concerning the applicability domain (OECD Principle 3) 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) is in the parametric, the structural and the metabolic domain (100%).
- The model was used to predict potential metabolites.
- All six metabolites identified as relevant degradation products were calculated to be readily biodegradable (threshold value: ≥60% BOD). Individual biodegradation of these metabolites was estimated to be in a range of 62% to 90% after 28 days (based on BOD).
In conclusion, 100% of the predicted metabolites present in concentration of ≥0.1% (equivalent to quantity setting in OASIS CATALOGIC: 0.001-2 [mol/mol parent]) are estimated to be readily biodegradable.
The relevant degradation products of 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) (CAS 4246-51-9) are therefore considered as not P / vP.
Bioaccumulation (“B/vB”):
Referring to uncharged molecules, in a test according to OECD 107 a log Kow of -1.25 at 25 °C was measured for the parent compound 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) (BASF AG, 1989, report no.: BRU89.027, see IUCLID Ch. 4.7). The value indicates low potential for bioaccumulation.
Without exception, all of the 30 modelled degradation products of 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) were estimated to exhibit log Kow values of clearly < 4.5 (see Table 1), thereby not fulfilling the screening criteria for bioaccumulation (B/vB) as laid down in Section 3.1 of REACH Annex XIII.
Based on the estimation data available for the modelled metabolites, all relevant metabolites of 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine) are concluded to be “not B” and “not vB”.
Toxicity (“T”):
Considering potential “T” properties, limited data are available for the relevant metabolites of the parent compound 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine). Only few of the relevant metabolites of the CATALOGIC model are registered under REACH. None of these substances were assessed to fulfill the criteria for “T”. Based on the available data on the persistence and bioaccumulation potential of all of the relevant metabolites, it can be concluded that all relevant degradation products do neither fulfill the PBT criteria (not PBT) nor the vPvB criteria (not vPvB).
Overall conclusion:
1. Sufficient test data are available to assess the PBT/vPvB properties of 3,3'-oxybis(ethyleneoxy)bis(propylamine).
2. Potentially relevant degradation products were modeled using (Q)SARmodel CATALOGIC 301C v11.15 – July 2018:
Based on modeled data relevant degradation products present in concentration of ≥ 0.1% (equivalent to quantity setting in OASIS CATALOGIC: 0.001-2 [mol/mol parent]) do neither fulfill the PBT criteria (not PBT) nor the vPvB criteria (not vPvB).
