Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 vapour pressure of ethylene diformate (CAS 629-15-2) indicates that this substance has potential for volatilization into the air (172 Pa). Nevertheless, the Henry’s Law Constant of < 1 Pa m³/mole shows that ethylene diformate is not expected to evaporate easily from the water phase. If released into the air, the substance is susceptible to indirect photodegradation in air (DT50 value: 104.74 h), and therefore, significant accumulation in air and the subsequent transport to other environmental compartments is not anticipated. Reliable QSAR data indicate that ethylene diformate will hydrolyse to ethylene glycol and formic acid with DT50 values of 1.24 d (pH7) and 2.98 h (pH8). The relevance of hydrolysis as an abiotic degradation pathway was also shown in available aquatic studies with DT50 values of 4-11 h (Vryenhoef, 2012).
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.
