Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Since TRIS HCl is well soluble in water, is not volatile, and has low adsorption potential, its main target compartment in the environment is likely to be water. Accumulation in organisms is unlikely, due to the low log Pow value of -3.6. Based on analogy it can be concluded that TRIS HCl is readily biodegradable and is therefore expected to be degraded by microorganisms in the environment within a short period of time. Since it will be eliminated by biodegradation, hydrolysis is not expected to be an important process in the fate of TRIS HCl nor has any considerable effect on the stability of the test substance during the aquatic toxicity studies performed with the substance.
Due to the low vapour pressure of 0,000027 Pa at 20 °C and a low Henry low constant (8.7E-8 Pa; HENRYWIN (v3.20), Bond estimation) it is concluded that TRIS HCl will not accumulate in air and will not be transported through the vapour phase into other environmental compartments in relevant amounts. Thus, air is not a likely route of environmental contamination and no accumulation and subsequent deposition of TRIS HCl is to be expected.
Additional information
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.
