Description of key information
Additional information
The physical/chemical properties of the tetraethylene glycol substance have been measured or reported from reliable sources, using test material of known identity and purity in most cases. The substance exhibits a low melt/freeze point of -9.4 °C and a low vapor pressure of 0.0015 Pa at 25 °C. The substance is miscible with water, which is consistent with the estimated log Kow value of -2.02. The substance is slightly more dense than water (d = 1.127 g/cm3 at 20 °C), which indicates it would tend to sink in water before becoming fully dissolved therein. The substance is considered as non-flammable, and is not reactive with water or other organic matterial such that spontaneous combustion or evolution of flammable or explosive gases will not occur. This "neutral" organic substance does not possess ionizable functional groups, and is resistant to most modes of degradation under storage conditions.
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.
