Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The phototransformation rate for is in the range 12.59 - 42.13 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec.The calculated half-lives are in the range 0.254 - 0.850 d (3.047 -10.195 hrs).
Icosane half-life in air is 0.424 days. Therefore icosane is to be considered as not persistent in the atmospheric compartment (DT50 less than 2 days).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Hydrocarbons, C14 -C20, aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics are UVCBs. Therefore, the phototransformation in air was estimated from the AOPWIN v1.92 calculations of phototransformation of selected hydrocarbons likely to be constituents of Hydrocarbons, C14 -C20, aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics. The single representative hydrocarbons were selected among allt he classes and the whole carbon range of the category.
The phototransformation rate is in the range 12.59 - 42.13 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec. The calculated half-lives are in the range 0.254 - 0.850 d (3.047 -10.195 hrs). These values are largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, Hydrocarbons, C14-C20, aliphatics, ≤2% aromatics are not persistent.
The phototransformation rate for icosane is 25.24 x 10-12 cm3/molecule/sec.The calculated half-life is 0.424 d (5.085 hrs). This value is largely below the trigger limit (2 days). Therefore, icosane is not persistent.
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.
