Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

According to “ANNEX IX- STANDARD INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBSTANCES MANUFACTURED OR IMPORTED IN QUANTITIES OF 100 TONNES OR MORE , a bioaccumulation study need not be conducted if:
— the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (for instance a log Kow ≤ 3) and/or a low potential to cross biological membranes, or
— direct and indirect exposure of the aquatic compartment is unlikely.
The estimated Log BCF of 2-(2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol is 0.500 (BCF = 3.162 L/kg wet-wt)
The estimated BCF of 3.162 L/kg wet-wt was measured by calculation from EPI SuiteTM v4.0 Program.
This is Exposure Assessment Tools and Models made from EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
These values would suggest very low bioaccumulation potential.
