Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Air: No experimental data on the phototransformation of the substance in air are available. Based on estimation with the QSAR model AopWin phototransformation data were calculated for alpha-Terpinyl acetate, being the main constituent of Terpinyl acetate multi, and therefore representative for Terpinyl acetate multi too. Alpha-Terpinyl acetate undergoes in air rapid degradation after reaction with hydroxyl radicals or ozone. The DT50-values after reaction with hydroxyl radicals and ozone are 1.36 hours and 0.64 hours, respectively. Terpinyl Acetate gamma shows values of 1.11 hours and 0.23 h. These values are not used in the risk characterisation because these are not experimental values.

The substance will not reach the stratosphere and is therefore not considered to be a long-range transported chemical in air. The substance does not have an ozone depletion potential because it does not contain halogens and does not have the potential to reach the stratosphere (EU CLP, EC no 1272/2008 and its amendments).

Water: Substance is readily biodegradable and the hydrolysis potential does not need to be investigated further. The substance is an ester and therefore some hydrolysis can be expected. Conservatively, the half-life in water of the substance is expected to be > 1 year at pH 7.
