Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Hydrolysis:
Read-across to similar phosphoric acid alkyl esters showed that these group of substances is stable at pH 4, 7 and 9.
Several reports with Triethylphosphate and 2 similar phosphoric acid alkyl esters show that such substances are stable at pH4, 7 and 9
The substance triethyl phosphate is stable to hydrolysis under normal environmental conditions.
Biodegradation:
The biodegradation of the substance was investigated in a modified MITI test corresponding to OECD 301C . The degree of biodegradation by BOD is reported to be 0% (CITI, 1992). The substance triethyl phosphate cannot be considered readily biodegradable.
In a Zahn-Wellens test (OECD 302C). 98% biodegradation of the test substance was seen in 21 days under the conditions of this study (Kanne, 1987). However only 18% biodegradation were seen at the relevant interval of 7 days. The substance triethyl phosphate is not considered inherently biodegradable.
Further, calculations with QSARs are available demonstrating that Triethyl phosphate is not readily biodegradable and ultimate biodegradation may be reached within weeks.
Based on the data from biodegradation and from hydrolysis, the substance is considered to be potentially P/vP. For this reason further investigations in water-sediment of soil are not necessary.
Bioaccumulation:
The substance triethyl phosphate has no potential for accumulation. (BCF <1.3)
Adsorption:
The obtained logKoc values of 1.64 and 1.81 (EPIWIN) indicate a has a negligible sorption potential to soil and sediment.
Henry's Law Constant:
The Henry´s law constant (HLC) was estimated to be 5.91*10-02 Pa-m3/mole (EPIWIN/Bond estimation method).
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.
