Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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, study for Stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products is only required if stability of the substance is considered to be critical.
But one reliable report source is available and report that the substance is stable but the substance is very soluble in organic solvents as ethanol and methanol and therefore is not stable in organic solvents as ethanol and methanol and stable in other organic solvents.
[Lide, D.R., G.W.A. Milne (eds.). Handbook of Data on Organic Compounds. Volume I. 3rd ed. CRC Press, Inc. Boca Raton ,FL. 1994., p. V3: 2674
The substance is from Glycol Ethers Category: Its functional groups indicate no solubility in common organic solvents. Solubility in organic solvents is not considered critical. (Ref. 1)
Therefore testing for solubility in organic solvents does not need to be performed.
