Description of key information

Additional information

Only one valid ready biodegradability test result for N-[3-(tridecyloxy)propyl]-1,3-propane diamine,branched monoacetate and N-[3-(tridecyloxy)propyl]-1,3-propane diamine branched is available because these substances are extremely toxic to micro-organisms. N-[3-(tridecyloxy)propyl]-1,3-propane diamine,branched monoacetate and N-[3-(tridecyloxy)propyl]-1,3-propane diamine branched did not cause a reduction in the endogenous respiration in the presence of 16 mg/L of humic acid. N-[3-(tridecyloxy)propyl]-1,3-propane diamine,branched monoacetate and N-[3-(tridecyloxy)propyl]-1,3-propane diamine branched was biodegraded 8% at day 28 in the Closed Bottle test. In the prolonged Closed Bottle test (enhanced biodegradability testing) a biodegradation percentage of 63 was achieved at day 60. Hence this substance should be classified as not persistent.
