Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The potential environmental distribution of tripropylene glycol was obtained from a generic fugacity model, Mackay level III. The

results show that when 1,4- is released into water, the majority of the chemical is likely distributed into soil and sediment.

PECs have been calculated based on several models (MNSEM, CHEMCAN, CHEMFRN) considering its physico-chemical properties (e.g. molecular weight, water solubility, vapour pressure and partition coefficient). The estimated concentrations of MNSEM

model w ere 9.7 E-11 mg/l (air), 8.3 E-6 mg/l (water), 3.0 E-5 mg/kg (soil), 5.0 E-5 mg/kg (sediment).

Steady state mass and concentration calculated using MNSEM 147S:

Air: 9.7E-11 mg/l

Water: 8.3E-06 mg/l

Soil: 3.0E-05 mg/kg dry solid

Sediment: 5.0E-05 mg/kg dry solid

Input data:

Molecular weight: 192.26

Water solubility: 1000000 [mg/l]

Vapor pressure: 1.05E+00 [mmHg]

Log Pow: 0.60
