Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Diamine methylated is readily biodegradable, a classification as not persistent according to the REACH guidance is for the time being not possible. This means that a half-life in soil of 1000000 days as suggested by EUSES for a not biodegrable substance is assumed for risk assessment purposes.
It should be noted however that based on the Kpsoil which is in the range of 10000 to 100000 L/kg already for a readily biodegradable substance a half-life in soil of 30000 days is assumed. This means that there is only a marginal difference in the PECsoil for a readily biodegradable substance or a substance which is considered not biodegradable (4.3% after 30 days and 9% after 180 days). Thus for a strongly sorbing substance the PEC in soil is almost independent from the fact whether the substance is readily biodegradable or not.
Considering the RMM during production and use in closed systems no or negligible emissions to soil are anticpated.
Based on the negligible emission to soil a further refinement of the biodegradation potential in soil is at this moment not considered.
Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in soil
Although Tetramine di-C16 -18 is biodegradable, a classification as not persistent according to the REACH guidance is for the time being not possible. This means that a half-life in soil of 1000000 days is assumed for risk assessment purposes.
It should be noted however that based on the Kpsoil which is in the range of 10000 to 100000 L/kg already for a readily biodegradable substance a half-life in soil of 30000 days is assumed. This means that there is only a marginal difference in the PECsoil for a readily biodegradable substance or a substance which is considered not biodegradable (4.3% after 30 days and 9% after 180 days). Thus for a strongly sorbing substance the PEC in soil is almost independent from the fact whether the substance is readily biodegradable or not.
Considering the RMM during production and use in closed systems no or negligible emissions to soil are anticipated.
Based on the negligible emission to soil a further refinement of the biodegradation potential in soil is at this moment not considered.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
