Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

1.1 Summary and overall conclusions onPBTor vPvB properties

TMOF is not a PBT or a vPvB substance.

1.2PBT/vPvB criteria and justification

Persistence Assessment

 

A substance fulfils the persistence criterion (P-) when:

– the half-life in marine water is higher than 60 days, or

– the half-life in fresh- or estuarine water is higher than 40 days, or

– the half-life in marine sediment is higher than 180 days, or

– the half-life in fresh- or estuarine water sediment is higher than 120 days, or

– the half-life in soil is higher than 120 days.

 

From biodegradability studies TMOF is readily biodegradable. The estimated half life normalised to 10 g fish is 0.05824 days (see BCFBAF v3.01 in Episuite 4.11).

 

A Mackay levelfugacity model gives the following half lives:

Air                         42.79 hours

Water                   360 hours (15 days)

Soil                        720 hours (30 days)

Sediment             3240 hours (135 days)

 

Therefore there is no indication that TMOF would be persistent.

Bioaccumulation Assessment

 

A substance fulfils the bioaccumulation criterion (B-) when:

– the bioconcentration factor () is higher than 2 000.

With an experimental Log K (octanol/water) of 0.09 (< 4.5) and a Log BCF of 0.500 (BCF = 3.162 L/kg wet-wt), calculated (see BCFBAF v3.01 in Episuite 4.11), TMOF is not predicted to be bioaccumulative.

Toxicity Assessment

 

A substance fulfils the toxicity criterion (T-) when:

– the long-term no-observed effect concentration (NOEC) for marine or freshwater organisms is less than 0.01 mg/l, or

– the substance is classified as carcinogenic (category 1 or 2), mutagenic (category 1or 2), or toxic for reproduction (category 1, 2, or 3), or

– there is other evidence of chronic toxicity, as identified by the classifications: T, R48, or Xn, R48 according to Directive 67/548/.

 

With a lowest marine/freshwater organism NOEC (daphnia) of 157.194 mg/l, not being CMR and not being T;R48 and/or Xn;R48, TMOF fulfils none of these criteria.

 

2. Emission Characterisation

From the various estimates in Episuite 4.11 (see Episuite data set) there is no reason to assume that this substance will have an influence on global warming, ozone depletion in the stratosphere, ozone formation in the troposphere, acidification, etc.
