Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Conclusion on classification

Aquatic compartment

Official classification

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Annex VI Table 3.1 or Table 3.2, trimethylenediamine is officially not classified.

Self-classification

Aquatic compartment

Following GHS, the substance is not to be classified as acutely hazardous to the aquatic environment. Based on the available acute and chronic data, the substance is not to be classified as chronically hazardous to the aquatic environment.

Rationale:

The substance is not to be classified as acutely hazardous to the aquatic environment, since the lowest acute effect value is > 1 mg/L.

Chronic data are only available for algae and aquatic invertebrates, therefore classification is based on the available chronic and acute toxicity data.

- Chronic toxicity data:

Considering the long-term toxicity data to aquatic invertebrates the 21-d NOEC of trimethylenediamine (CAS 109-76-2) was determined to be ≥ 10 mg/L. Considering the toxicity to aquatic algae the 72-h NOEC was determined to be ≥ 500 mg/L.

The lowest chronic effect value is ≥ 10 mg/L, indicating that the substance does not represent a long-term hazard according to the categories outlined in Table 4.1.0(b) (ii) (Commission Regulation (EU) No 286/2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008) for rapidly degradable substances.

- Acute toxicity data:

Acute toxicity to aquatic organisms (LC/EC50) is between 10 and 100 mg/L in freshwater (48-h EC50 Daphnia: 27 mg/L).

However, the substance is rapidly biodegradable (freshwater) and the log Kow is <4.
