Description of key information

Additional information

N-benzyl-N-C16-18 (even numbered)-alkyl-N-methyl-C16-18 (even numbered)-alkyl-1-aminium chloride is not expected to be degraded under environmental conditions based on its structure which does not contain any hydrolysable covalent bonds. Cleavage of a carbon-nitrogen bond under environmental conditions is only possible with a carbonyl group adjacent to the nitrogen atom. Degradation of N-benzyl-N-C16-18 (even numbered)-alkyl-N-methyl-C16-18 (even numbered)-alkyl-1-aminium chloride through hydrolysis is therefore not considered.

Phototransformation in air/soil/water and sediment are not required under REACH.
