Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
According calculations using Makay Level 1 Model, TBEP is mainly distributed in soil (81.7%) and in less extent in water (16.4%). However this does not take into account any biodegradation of the substance. As TBEP is readily biodegradable the substance will be removed in the STP and the remaining concentrations in each compartment will be much lower.
