Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Phototransformation in air:
Rate constant for reaction with OH radicals:
Cyrene™ (submission substance): 2.5E-11 cm3/molecule.sec (half-life 0.6 days)
Gem Diol: 3.9E-11 cm3/molecule.sec (half-life 0.4 days)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life in air:
- 0.6 d
- Degradation rate constant with OH radicals:
- 0 cm³ molecule-1 s-1
Additional information
No measured phototransformation in air data are available for the submission substance.
The substance contains no chromophores that would absorb visible or UV radiation, so direct photolysis is not likely to be significant. Indirect photolysis resulting from gas-phase reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals may occur.
The AOPWIN program (v1.92, EPA 2010) has been used to obtain values of the rate constant kOH for reaction of the submission substance with hydroxyl radicals.
The overall half-life in air under default conditions of hydroxyl radical concentration was calculated using the following expressions:
kdegair (d-1) = kOH (cm3/molecule.sec) x OH Concair (molecules/cm3) x 24 x 3600
DT50 (d) = ln 2/ kdegair (d-1)
Where:
kdegair = total rate constant for degradation in air
kOH = rate constant for reaction with hydroxyl radicals
OH Concair = concentration of hydroxyl radicals in air = 5E+05 OH molecules/ cm3
DT50 = half-life
The concentration of hydroxyl radicals in air of 5E+05 OH molecules/cm3, and the 24 hour photoperiod, are the values specified in ECHA Guidance on Information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Part R.16 Environmental exposure estimation (ECHA, 2016).
The results are given in the table below:
