Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The substance is not readily biodegradable (according to OECD critieria).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- not biodegradable
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
Experimental data are available on the biodegradation potential of 2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]-N-methylethanamine (TMAEE; CAS 93240-93-8). In a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 301B (Ready Biodegradability: CO2 Evolution Test), degradation of the substance was reported to be 0% after 28 days based on CO2 evolution (BASF SE 2020, report no.: 22G0034/19G052). Domestic activated sludge was used as inoculum. The criteria for ready biodegradability were not reached.
It can be concluded, that TMAEE (CAS 93240-93-8) is not readily biodegradable according to OECD criteria.
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.
