Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In a GLP-Study according to the test guideline (U.S.) EPA 540/9-82-021, Subdivision N, Section 162-1, performed using the read-across substance N,N-Dimethyldecan-1-amide  (CAS No. 14433-76-2) the  DT-50 (half life) value of the test substance  in sandy loam was determined to be 2.2 hours.
In a GLP-study according to the German BBA guideline Part IV, 4-1, performed using the read-across substance N,N-Dimethyldecan-1-amide  (CAS No. 14433-76-2) the rate of mineralization of the test substance amounted to >70% of the applied radioactivity after 4 days in three different soils with DT-50 values in the range of 0.5 to 6.5 hours .

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in soil:
6.5 h
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

In two GLP studies (according to EPA 540/9-82-021, Subdivision N, Section 162-1 and German BBA guideline Part IV, 4-1) performed using the read-across substance N,N-Dimethyldecan-1-amide  (CAS No. 14433-76-2) the test substance was mineralized to C02 in four soils to >70% of the applied radioactivity after 4 days. Depending on the type of soil, the DT-50 values were 0.48, 0.96, 2.20 and 6.48 hours. The geometric mean of these half-lifes was 1.6 hours. Only two metabolites reached levels above 10% of the applied radioactivity. Their maximum value was at the first day and amounted to < 2 % after day 4. The microbial mass was not influenced by the substance or its degradation products.
