Description of key information

The substance consists of multiple different constituents with similar chemical structure: N,N'-ethane-1,2-diylbis(12-hydroxyoctadecanamide), N,N'-hexane-1,6-diylbis(12-hydroxyoctadecanamide) and N,N'-[1,3-phenylenebis(methylene)]bis(12-hydroxyoctadecanamide).There are no experimental data on the multi-constituent substance available. The individual constituents and mixtures of structurally similar bisamides are considered suitable read-across substances. Experimental results are provided from guideline studies on the following read-across substances. For 1,3-bis[12-hydroxy-octadecamide-N-methylene]-benzene, the partition coefficient could not be determined due to low solubility of the substance in both water and n-octanol. For 12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid, reaction products with 1,3-benzenedimethanamine and hexamethylenediamine, the determined log Kow is 6.01 (20 °C).

Predictions of the partition coefficient of three individual constituents of the substance by the QSAR software tool EPI Suite v4.1.1 (KowWin v1.68) also resulted in very high low Kow values in the range of 11.31 – 13.08. Comparable Kow values were calculated for the three individual constituents using the QSAR software tool ChemProp 6.7 (log Kow > 9.71).

Since all constituents are structurally similar to each other, the solubility in water and n-octanol of the substance being registered is expected to be comparable to the properties of the read-across substances. Based on the experimental data on the read-across substance 12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid, reaction products with 1,3-benzenedimethanamine and hexamethylenediamine and the predicted values by QSAR, a high partition coefficient is expected, which may not be determinable due to low solubility. Conclusively, further testing is not considered necessary.
