Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 log Kow of the substance of 4.4 is selected based on read across from terpinyl acetate alpha, which was determined by the HPLC method according to OECD TG 117.

Two other peaks show log Kow of 4.3 and 4.5, respectively. These likely belong to Terpinyl Acetate beta (an impurity and Terpinyl Acetate gamma (a minor constituent) based on the slight differences calculated with KOWWIN. For these two log Kow values are calculated of 4.33 and 4.47, respectively. For Terpinyl Acetate alpha a value of 4.4 is calculated. The selected log Kow values is therefore representatative for Terpinyl Acetate multi.

Additional information

The key study was selected based on it being conducted under GLP.

In addition to the key study, the octanol-water partition coefficients of 57 terpenoids including alpha-Terpinyl Acetate were determined using HPLC (Griffin et al., 1999) and resulted in a log Kow value of 3.96.
