Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
The test item attained 0 % degradation after 28 days and therefore, cannot be considered as readily biodegradable under the strict terms and conditions of OECD Guideline No. 301F.
The adsorption coefficient of Oxirane, mono[(C12-14-alkyloxy)methyl] derivs. / ERC Nr 17 was estimated to be log KOC > 5.63 (KOC >426580) using the HPLC method. Therefore, it could be expected that 2-ethylhexyl glycidyl ether has a similar adsorption coefficient, which is placed as logKOC >5.6. This value indicates that 2-ethylhexyl glycidyl ether will be adsorbed by organic carbon in soil and can be considered to be immobile according these study results.
Degradation products of glycidyl ethers are known, since they are in first tier the hydrolysed (opened) epoxides (glyceryl ethers). Thus, further assessment on the degradation products is not necessary.
The information from biodegradation and hydrolysis tests is sufficient for the Persistence assessment, only if the CSA indicates the need to investigate further degradation information of the substance in future. Thus, simulation tests of biodegradation were waived.
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.
