Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Phototransformation in air is not relevant due to low  vapour pressure (< 0.0001 Pa).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Experimental results on phototransformation of Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., triesters with trimethylolpropane (CAS 68002-78-8) are not available. The evaluation of phototransformation is therefore based on calculated values for the single substance components C16 FA component, C18 FA component and C18:1 FA component of Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18 unsatd. The data on substance components is combined in a Weight of Evidence (WoE). The degradation rates were calculated using AOPWIN v1.92 (Blum, 2011). The estimated half-lives for the substance components ranged from 1.52 – 6.14 hours based on a 24 hour day (OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm³). The data indicate that the substance will be rapidly photodegraded. As this study is not a standard information requirement in REACh and there is no indication from the Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA) on the need to investigate further the fate and behaviour of the substance (Annex X requirement), no further testing is considered necessary for the substance.
