Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
2 -methoxyethyl acrylate is characterised by a high water solubility (144 g/L). As indicated by its vapour pressure (281 Pa), the substance is rather volatile, and it is hydrolytically stable with a half-life > 1 year at pH 7. However, in the atmosphere the substance has a half-life of 20.4 hours, indicating rapid degradation by photolytical processes. As the substance is readily biodegradable, no persistence in the environment is to be expected. Furthermore, the substance has a low log Kow value (0.9) indicating a low potential for bioaccumulation which is confirmed by an estimated BCF of 3.16. Due to its low potential for adsorption to organic soil and sediment particles (log Koc 0.677 – 1.267), the main compartment for environmental distribution is assumed to be the water phase where it will be rapidly biodegraded.
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.
