Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
phototransformation in air
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Half-life in air estimated using the EPIsuite QSAR
Justification for type of information:
QSAR prediction: migrated from IUCLID 5.6

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Atmospheric Oxidation Program for Microsoft Windows (AOPWIN) estimates the rate constant for the atmospheric, gas-phase reaction between photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and organic chemicals. It also estimates the rate constant for the gas-phase reaction between ozone and olefinic/acetylenic compounds. The rate constants estimated by the program are then used to calculate atmospheric half-lives for organic compounds based upon average atmospheric concentrations of hydroxyl radicals and ozone.
GLP compliance:
no
Reaction with:
OH radicals
Rate constant:
cm³ molecule-1 s-1
Conclusions:
In the atmosphere alkyl-1,3-diaminopropanes are likely to be degraded by reaction with hydroxyl radicals. The half-life in air is calculated using the EPIsuite QSAR using the advised 500000 OH-radicals/cm3
Executive summary:

In the atmosphere N-tallow alkyl dipropylene triamines and tripropylenetetraamines are likely to be degraded by reaction with hydroxyl radicals. Degradation rates for some components were calculated with the Atmospheric Oxidation Programme based on structure activity relationships developed by Atkinson (1987). With a concentration of 500,000 OH-radicals/cm3, degradation half-lives of 1.7 h and 1.24 h for resp octadecyl dipropylene triamines and octadecyl tripropylene tetraamines, and 2.1 and 1.4 h for the cis- and trans-isomer of the 9-octadecenyl dipropylene triamines, respectively, were calculated. For the exposure calculations, a mean value for the tri- and tetraamines of 1.9 h is used. Because there are no important releases into the atmosphere and volatilisation is expected to be negligible, this removal mechanism is thought to be of low relevance.

Description of key information

In the atmosphere triamines C16-18 and tetramines C16-18 are likely to be degraded by reaction with hydroxyl radicals. Degradation rates for some components were calculated with the Atmospheric Oxidation Programme based on structure activity relationships developed by Atkinson (1987). With a concentration of 500,000 OH-radicals/cm3, degradation half-lives of 1.7 h and 1.24 h for resp triamine C18 and tetramines C18, and 2.1 and  1.4 h for the cis- and trans-isomer of the triamines 9-octadecenyl , respectively, were calculated. For the exposure calculations, a mean value for the tri- and tetraamines of 1.9 h is used. Because there are no important releases into the atmosphere and volatilisation is expected to be negligible, this removal mechanism is thought to be of low relevance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:
1.9 h

Additional information

Because there are no important releases into the atmosphere and volatilisation is expected to be negligible, this removal mechanism is thought to be of low relevance.
