Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Additional information

Phototransformation in Air :

The atmospheric oxidation half life of 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol was estimated using level III multimedia model it indicates that 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol is not persistent in air medium as the half life period of 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol in air is only 1.9days. From this it is concluded that 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol is rapidly phototransformed in air.

Hydrolysis :

Hydrolysis Rate Constant of 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol was estimated to be 0.000000000008603 cm3/molecule-sec at half life of 1.243 days.This indicates that 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol is slowly hydrolysable.

Phototransformation in Water :

No experimental data available. As this study is not a standard information requirement in REACH and there is no indication from the CSA on the need to investigate further the fate and behaviour of the substance (Annex X requirement), no further testing is considered necessary.

Phototransformation in Soil :

No experimental data available. As this study is not a standard information requirement in REACH and there is no indication from the CSA on the need to investigate further the fate and behaviour of the substance (Annex X requirement), no further testing is considered necessary.
