Description of key information

Phototransformation in air is not relevant.

Additional information

Based on a QSAR calculation using AOPWIN v1.92, Propane-1,2,3-triyl 2-ethylhexanoate (CAS No. 7360-38-5) is susceptible to indirect photodegradation in air. The estimated half time for the reaction with OH-radicals is 14.01 hours (24h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm3). However, photodegradation is not an important environmental fate process since the substance is not expected to evaporate into the atmosphere due to its very low vapor pressure of < 0.0001 Pa at 20 °C. As this study is not a standard information requirement in REACH and there is no indication from the CSA on the need to investigate further the fate and behaviour of the substance, no further testing is considered necessary.
