Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
(Z)-N-octadec-9-enylhexadecan-1-amide (CAS No. 16260-09-6) is stable in water; hydrolysis is not expected to be an important process in the fate of (Z)-N-octadec-9-enylhexadecan-1-amide (CAS No. 16260-09-6).
The substance is not readily biodegradable. Nonetheless, biodegradability properties of (Z)-N-octadec-9-enylhexadecan-1-amide (CAS No. 16260-09-6) has been investigated, following the request from ECHA, by performing simulation tests as followed:
Sediment simulation testing (OECD 308, at 12 °C) and
Soil simulation testing (OECD 307, at 12 °C).
Both studies conclude that there is biodegradation in both soil and water/sediment system with a half-life of 25.2 days, with final mineralization range of 42% at 105 days (Calwich Abbey Lake) and 40.6% at 105 days (Emperor Lake), in the water sediment/system and a half-life of 226 days to 418 days, with final mineralization range from 8.5% at 120 days (Kennett soil) to 15.4% at 120 days (South Witham soil), in the four soils under aerobic conditions. The substance is therefore very persistent in sediment and in soil.
Biomagnification of the substance through the food chain has been investigated in an OECD 305 test (GLP, dietary exposure). Dietary exposure is considered being the most relevant exposure pathway based on the poor water solubility and high adsorption potential of the substance. A BMF of 0.582 (kinetic, corrected for growth) was determined. The growth corrected half-life of the substance in body tissue was 59.2 d.
Thus, it is expected that the substance undergoes a rapid elimination from the fish’s tissue. Therefore it is not expected that the substance accumulates in the food chain.
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.
