Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The Substance is acutely harmful to algae. Long-term effects are not to be expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In a 72-hour algal growth study, cultures of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata were exposed to 2-(2-Hexyloxyethoxy)ethanol at geometric mean measured concentrations of 0 (control), 1.46, 2.82, 9.65, 33.97 and 100.27 mg/L under static conditions in accordance with the OECD 201 guideline and under GLP (BASF SE, 2021; report no. 60E0091/20E006).
The test concentrations were analytically controlled and deviated markedly from the nominal concentrations (especially the lower concentrations); therefore, the effect concentration are based on the mean measured concentrations.
The results in this study are consistent with all validity criteria and the test is valid according to the guidelines of this study.
The 72- ErC10 was determined to be 9.76 mg/L (meas.). The 72-h ErC50 was 27.0 mg/L (meas.).
It can be concluded that the substance is acutely harmful to algae. Long-term effects are not to be expected (EC10 > 1 mg/L).
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.
