- Justification for type of information:
- TBBS has a hydrolysis half- life of 1.8h (MITI1996) to 9.53 h (Monsanto 1984) and therefore hydrolysis is a significant factor in the aquatic environment. According to REACH Guidance Document R.7c (20142017, p. 2629) it can be assumed that the rate of hydrolysis is greater than that for uptake by the exposed organisms, where hydrolysis half-life is below 12 h. In these cases, it may sometimes be appropriate to perform a BCF test on the hydrolysis products, if identified, instead of the parent substance. In case of TBBS, MBT and tert-butylamine are identified hydrolysis products for which bioaccumulation tests are available. The experimentally determined BCF of MBT is lower than 8 and the one of tert-butylamine lower than 9; and hence MBT and tert-butylamine and therefore also TBBS are considered to have very low potential for bioaccumulation (MITI, 2000 and 2003).

- Details on results:
- N-tert-butylbenzothiazole-2-sulphenamide (TBBS) hydrolyses in water to produce 2 -mercaptobenzothiazole, and tert-butylamine. These hydrolysis products have been tested and shown to have low potential for bioaccumulation. Based on these findings, TBBS is judged to also have low potential for bioaccumulation.
Bioconcentration factors (BCF) of tert-butylamine (CAS No. 75 -64 -9):
Level 1 (nominal concentration = 1 mg/L) : 0.86
Level 2 (nominal concentration = 0.1 mg/l) : 9.0
Results of the acute toxicity test
96-hour LC50 value >500 mg/L - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Due to the fast hydrolysis, only the BCF of the degradation products are relevant for risk assessment of TBBS in the environment. The experimentally determined BCF of tert-butylamine is lower than 9; and hence TBBS is considered to have very low potential for bioaccumulation.
- Executive summary:
Due to the fast hydrolysis, only the BCF of the degradation products are relevant for risk assessment of TBBS in the environment. The experimentally determined BCF of tert-butylamine is lower than 9; and hence TBBS is considered to have very low potential for bioaccumulation.

Description of key information
TBBS has a hydrolysis half-life of 1.8h (MITI1996) to 9.53 h (Monsanto 1984) and therefore hydrolysis is a significant factor in the aquatic environment. According to REACH Guidance Document R.7c (2017, p. 29) it can be assumed that the rate of hydrolysis is greater than that for uptake by the exposed organisms, where hydrolysis half-life is below 12 h. In these cases, it may sometimes be appropriate to perform a BCF test on the hydrolysis products, if identified, instead of the parent substance. In case of TBBS, MBT and tert-butylamine are identified hydrolysis products for which bioaccumulation tests are available. The experimentally determined BCF of MBT is lower than 8 and the one of tert-butylamine lower than 9; and hence MBT and tert-butylamine and therefore also TBBS are considered to have very low potential for bioaccumulation (MITI, 2000 and 1992).
