Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The overall OH rate constant of TAEE due to photochemical oxidation reaction is 1.06E-11 cm3/mol.sec.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:
1.51 d

Additional information

In the troposphere TAEE is photochemically oxidised by hydroxyl radicals abstracting H atoms. The degradation half-life of TAEE in the air is calculated to be 1.01 days depending on environmental conditions (predominantly OH-radical concentration)(AOPWIN™ v1.92; U.S. EPA 2008a). The calculation is reliable, validated and falls within the applicability domain of the QSAR. Using a degradation rate constant of 1.06E-11 cm3/molecule.sec and an OH-radical concentration of 5E05 radicals/cm3 a half-life of 1.51 days is calculated. This half-life for degradation in air will be used in further assessment.
