Description of key information
Additional information
C4 sulfonamido alcohol is used by the manufacturer in closed systems as an intermediate or is similarly packaged for export. A limited tonnage is converted to a waxy solid form for use as a monomer. The 3M facility that manufactures and uses C4 sulfonamido alcohol internally contains ventilation to control worker exposure to vapors. All 3M manufacture and use of C4 sulfonamido alcohol in the EU will be at a location where multiple treatment technologies are applied in series to process wastewater. The final treatment stage incorporates granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration. No direct release to surface water is expected. Solid waste from the manufacturing process and sewage sludge is incinerated. Indirect release to soil by application of sewage sludge will not occur. None of the uses of C4 sulfonamido alcohol result in direct release to soil.
C4 sulfonamido alcohol has a vapor pressure of 0.004 Pa at 25 °C and is moderately soluble (141 mg/L at 23-24 °C). A limited quantity of C4 sulfonamido alcohol may be released directly to the atmosphere during manufacture and use. The physical/chemical properties indicate that any C4 sulfonamido alcohol released to the atmospheric compartment will be removed by wet or dry deposition.
Little biodegradation of C4 sulfonamido alcohol (0-2%) was observed in an OECD 301 B assay, however 96.5% of C4 sulfonamido alcohol was converted to other products in an inherent biodegradability test. The major metabolite was a carboxylic acid formed by dehydrogenation of the C4 sulfonamido alcohol's hydroxyl group (ca. 97% of total), with no further degradation. The concentration of C4 sulfonamido alcohol did not change significantly in a hydrolysis study (OECD 111). A minimum half-life of 1.67 years was calculated using the standard deviation of the concentrations measured during the experiment. As noted above, no direct releases of C4 sulfonamido alcohol are expected to aquatic systems due to process controls.
C4 sulfonamido alcohol has a modeled log Kow of 2.83 (KOWWIN v1.68). It is not expected to be bioaccumulative according to screening criteria in Technical Guidance Chapter R.11 on PBT Analysis. Further, little or no release of C4 sulfonamido alcohol as such to aquatic systems is expected, and direct and indirect exposure of the aquatic compartment is not expected.
Summary: C4 sulfonamido alcohol is used as an intermediate and monomer in industrial applications. Operational conditions and risk management measures result in low expected release to the environment.
