Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 calculated half-lives for two representative structures of the substance by photodegradation in air were 0.21 and 0.33 days with Overall OH rate constants of 49.1678*10-12 and 76.8026*10-12 cm³/molecule-sec. The estimation rules applied for the substance appears appropriate. The predicted results for the substance can be considered reliable yielding a useful result for further assessment. (Currenta, 2017).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in air:
- 0.326 d
- Degradation rate constant with OH radicals:
- 0 cm³ molecule-1 s-1
Additional information
As no data on phototransfromation in air are available, the rate constant for the atmospheric gas-phase reaction between photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and organic chemicals is estimated with the Atmospheric Oxidation Program (AOPWIN) of US Environmental Protection Agency. The rate constant is then used to calculate the atmospheric half-life. A 24-hour day and an OH radical conc. of 500,000 OH/cm³are assumed for calculation.As the substance is an UVCB two generic structures were used as representative of the substances for the calculation of the phototransformation in air and therefore two results were obtained: 2-[2-(2-hydroxypropoxy) ethoxy]ethyl 2-hydroxypropyl phthalate (Structure A) and 1-O-{2-[(2-hydroxypropoxy) carbonyl]benzoyl}-6-O-(2-hydroxypropyl) hexitol (Structure B). The higher value was chosen as a worst-case.
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.
