Description of key information
Tertiary butyl acetate is expected to partition mainly to the atmospheric compartment, with high volatilisation from bodies of water; it is concluded to be inherently biodegradable, not meeting specific ECHA criteria. Based on the results of a pelagic water simulation test, it is considered to have a long experimental half-life in water when forced to remain in the water compartment. However, as discussed above, in the environment it is not expected to remain in the aquatic compartment, but instead is expected to partition to the atmosphere.
The principal mechanism for removal from the environment is expected to be by atmospheric photodegradation.
Additional information
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.
