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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 232-350-7 | CAS number: 8006-64-2 Any of the volatile predominately terpenic fractions or distillates resulting from the solvent extraction of, gum collection from, or pulping of softwoods. Composed primarily of the C10H16 terpene hydrocarbons: α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, 3-carene, camphene. May contain other acyclic, monocyclic, or bicyclic terpenes, oxygenated terpenes, and anethole. Exact composition varies with refining methods and the age, location, and species of the softwood source.

Description of key information
Phototransformation in water is not expected to be a significant removal process.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
There is no information available for phototransformation in water of TOPP as a whole substance. Phototransformation in water is not expected to be a significant removal process for the substance due to low light absorption and low light intensity in most natural waters.
Kieber et al 1996 exposed solutions of dimethyl sulfide in natural water to sunlight for a fixed solar flux of 0.3 W.h.cm-2 (3-5 h of exposure depending on the cloud cover). The solutions were also exposed in laboratory experiments using a lamp.
The photolytic turnover rate for dimethyl sulfide ranged from 0.05 to 0.15 day-1. The photolysis of dimethyl sulfide followed pseudo-first order kinetics at concentrations less than 50 ± 15 nM. In laboratory experiments, the photolysis of 20 nM dimethyl sulfide was followed to 75% completion. No loss was observed in dark controls.
This data gives insufficient information to draw any conclusions on rates of phototransformation in water.Therefore, no adjustment is made to the predicted half-life of 1 x 106 days (EUSES 2.1.2) for photolysis of dimethyl sulfide in surface water for TOPP Block 5.

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
