Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data

Description of key information
The ready biodegradability was evaluated by Safepharm Laboratories (1996) in a Closed Bottle Test according to OECD 301D.
The test material was exposed to sewage treatment microorganisms at a concentration of 2 mg/l at 21 C for 28 days. The test material was not toxic to the inoculum. The test material attained 4 % degradation after 28 days.
This finding is supported by a calculation of ready biodegradation in water using CATALOGIC v.5.13.1. estimating a Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) according to OECD 301C. The estimated BOD is 32% within 28 days. Therefore, the substance cannot be considered to be readily biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- not biodegradable
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
Sufficient data are available to assess the PBT/vPvB properties of 2,4,6-tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol.
Potential relevant degradation products were modelled using (Q)SAR model CATALOGIC 301C v11.15 – July 2018 (OASIS CATALOGIC v5.13.1.156):
Based on modelled data relevant degradation products present in concentration of ≥ 0.1% (~ equivalent to quantity setting in OASIS CATALOGIC: 0.001-2 [mol/mol parent]) do neither fulfil the PBT criteria (not PBT) nor the vPvB criteria (not vPvB).
Without exception, all the 62 modelled degradation products of 2,4,6‐tris(dimethylaminomethyl) phenol were estimated to exhibit log Kow values of clearly ≤4.5 (see Table 1 of endpoint entry), thereby not fulfilling the screening criteria for bioaccumulation (B/vB) as laid down in Section 3.1 of REACH Annex XIII.
However, 12 predicted relevant metabolites present in concentration of ≥0.1% (~ equivalent to quantity setting in OASIS CATALOGIC: 0.001-2 [mol/mol parent]) should be considered as potentially P/vP from a precautionary point of view.
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.
