Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Triacetin (CAS 102-76-1) is not considered to be harmful to aquatic organisms based on the results from short-term studies with fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae as well as long-term results on toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. No effects were observed up to a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L on aquatic invertebrates and algae with an LC50 (96 h) > 100 mg/L for Oryzias latipes and an EC50 (48 h) of 380 mg/L for Daphnia magna. The result with the freshwater algae Selenastrum capricornutum is in line with these results indicating low toxicity (ErC50 (72 h) > 940 mg/L and NOEC (72 h) 468 mg/L). An additional long-term study with Daphnia magna did not result in any toxic effects on reproduction and mortality after 21 d up to a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (corresponding to a measured concentration of 94 mg/L). Triacetin did not cause inhibition of biodegradation in a study according to OECD 301B with activated sludge microorganisms. No inhibition of degradation was observed at the applied test concentration of 20 mg/L. Moreover, no effects on cell multiplication of Pseudomonas putida were observed up to a nominal test concentration of 1088 mg/L after 18 h. Thus, the overall potential to cause inhibition of activated sludge microorganisms is low and significant inhibition of the subsequent degradation process in sewage treatment plants is not expected.
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.
