Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Expert Judgement
If released to soil, triethylene glycol monobutyl ether or (2-(2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol) is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 10. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.5X10-14 atm-cu m/mole. Based on % theoretical BODS of 0-24 in 5-20 days, triethylene glycol monobutyl ether or (2-(2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol) is expected to biodegrade slowly in soil and water.
Therefore testing for Phototransformation in soils does not need to be performed.
Key value for chemical safety assessment

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.
