Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment: overall result

PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

The substance is not considered to be persistent. A Closed Bottle test carried out with linear triamine C12-18 in the presence of silica gel did not lead to a false negative result and thus to a fair interpretation of the biodegradability. A ready biodegradability test result with branched triamine C12 was obtained with a very low initial test substance concentration. The adequate ready biodegradability test result obtained and the scientific evidence that consortia of hydrophilic moiety and alkyl-utilizing micro-organisms through a joint biodegradation pathway degrade all triamines, alkyl lead to the conclusion that all triamines, alkyl are readily biodegradable.

The substance has a low bioaccumulation potential based on a measured log Kow of -0.3 for both the Oleyltetramine and cocotriamine using the slow-stirring method (OECD 123). A BCF is calculated of 3.162 L/kg ww for the alkyl-dipropylene triamines and tripropylene tetramines assuming no metabolism as a worst-case.

Based on the available ecotoxicity data it is concluded that the T criterion is not fulfilled for the Oleyl dipropylene triamine however based on the classification STOT-RE category 2 the substance is to be classified as toxic.
Likely routes of exposure:

The substance has a low vapour pressure, low water solubility and is cationic under environmental conditions and due to that sorbs strongly to soil, sediment and sludge.
