Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Phototransformation in air
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Phototransformation in air is not relevant based on the low vapour pressure (0.3306 Pa at 25 °C).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No experimental studies investigating the phototransformation in air of triacetin are available. Thus, the phototransformation in air was calculated using AOPWIN v1.92 (Müller, 2013).
The results indicate that triacetin shows a slow degradation by indirect photodegradation in air. The estimated half-life for the reaction with OH-radicals is 45.307 h (24 h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm³).However, this is not expected to be a relevant environmental fate process, since triacetin is not expected to be present in the atmosphere based on the low Henry’s Law Constant of < 1 Pa m³/mole and the low vapour pressure of 0.3306 Pa at 25 °C. Based on this result, it can be concluded that phototransformation in air is not a relevant degradation pathway for triacetin.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
