Description of key information
Additional information
While the submission substance is highly hydrophilic (log Pow <=0.4) and does not show surface active properties, aliphatic amines are strong bases and are protonated at environmental pH and, in consequence, due to the positive charge are prone to bind on negatively charged solid matter. This is demonstrated by the results from the available adsorption-desorption study (OECD 106): The bifunctional aliphatic amine HMD (2 amino groups) turned out to bind to soil and - to a lower level - sediment. In spite of its adsorptive behaviour, it was shown to be readily biodegradable fulfilling the 10-day window requirement with total nitrification within 28 days. From these properties, rapid degradation in sewage treatment plants or the environment is expected, which would lead to overall low environmental concentrations. In addition, due to adsorption on suspended matter or soil, bioavailable concentrations in the aquatic phase are expected to be very low. Due to the observed rapid mineralization, accumulation in soil or sediment is not to be expected.
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.
