Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A study of Phototransformation/Photolysis is not needed. Photodegradation in air has no relevance for the substances, as they are not volatile. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Due to the ionic structure of the TEA-Esterquats their vapour pressures are negligible. Therefore emissions to air are expected to be very low and the extent of photodegradation in air has no relevance for the environmental fate of this class of chemicals.
