For Fatty Nitrogen-Derived Amides (FND Amides)
Environmental fate:
As expected for molecules of this size, model predictions for the chemicals with definable structures indicate they are nonvolatile. Predicted or measured
Kow values are of limited practical use for the FND Amides. An inherent property of surfactants is that they tend to accumulate at the interface between
hydrophobic and hydrophilic phases rather than equilibrate between the two phases. Therefore, the accurate measurement of the Kow of any surfactant is
notoriously difficult. The measured values for water solubility of the FND Amides indicate that they are insoluble. The model predictions, however, range
from insoluble to moderately soluble. The physical/chemical properties of surfactants often make water solubility data of little practical value in the
determination of environmental fate and effects.
Due to the low volatility of the FND Amides atmospheric photodegradation estimates are of no practical use. However, photodegradation was predicted
that could be modeled. These predictions indicate that these chemicals would be expected to degrade relatively rapidly upon exposure to light (t1/2 values
ranging from approximately 2.2 to 9.5 hours).
Due to the surfactant properties and solubility of the FND Amides, hydrolytic stability is of minimal value for determining
environmental fate or effects.
Biodegradability: There are adequate measured data across Subcategories I, II and IV to allow the conclusion that the these chemicals are readily or
inherently biodegradable. Further, the model predictions provide reasonably close estimates to these measured values. Minimal degradability of the one
chemical,[CAS RN 68122-86-1], from Subcategory III indicates these chemicals are slowly degraded. The slower degradation of these materials is likely
the result of limited water solubility and behavior of the chemicals in aqueous solution. Longer single alkyl group substitutions and/or multiple long-chain
alkyl substituents result in slower “inherent” biodegradability.
Ecotoxicity:
The reliable data for acute toxicity to fish and daphnid indicate that the FND Amides like surfactants in general, may adversely affect aquatic organisms
(LC50 and EC50 values ranging from 0.2 to 59 mg/l). Many of the ECOSAR model estimates for the acute toxicity endpoints indicate the chemicals are
“not toxic at solubility”. However, for surfactants such as the FND Amides the acute aquatic toxicity generally is considered to be related to the effects
of the surfactant properties on the organism and not to direct chemical toxicity.
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.

SECTION 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste treatment methods
Recycle wherever possible.
Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste management authority for disposal if no
suitable treatment or disposal facility can be identified.
Dispose of by: burial in a land-fill specifically licenced to accept chemical and / or pharmaceutical wastes or incineration in
a licenced apparatus (after admixture with suitable combustible material).
Decontaminate empty containers. Observe all label safeguards until containers are cleaned and destroyed.
