Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Rapid and reliable biodegradation of TAEE in soil is not to be expected under environmental conditions indicating very slow degradation in soil.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No soil simulation tests are available for TAEE, but data are available for the structurally related aliphatic ether TAME. Based on the study available with TAME it may be concluded that rapid and reliable biodegradation of TAME in soil can not be assumed in any normal environmental conditions (Zenker, 1999). The biodegradability of TAME in soil in aerobic and anaerobic conditions seems to be very slow and favourable conditions for degradation are difficult to attain.
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.
