Description of key information

Expert Judgement 
Due to the absence of chemical groups or other structural alerts this substance is not considered to exhibit an high hazard potential.
Triethylene glycol butyl ether or 2-(2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol as member of “The High Boiling Ethylene Glycol Ethers category“ is of low priority for further work based on a low hazard potential.
Therefore testing for Additional physico-chemical properties does not need to be performed.
Some Additional physico-chemical information is available:
