Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Studies were carried out on the degradation of A GLP-study equivalent to OECD guideline 304A is available for propylene glycol phenyl ether by soil microorganisms under aerobic condition at 25°C. Three different soil samples, a sandy soil and two sandy loam soils (classified as a Tappan series and a Londo series) were used. Rapid degradation was observed with PPH, where complete degradation occurred within 2 days. The maximum amount of 14C02 produced was 31% of the initially applied radioactivity. 14C-Intermediate compound(s), which were not identified, reached 9.2% of the initially applied radioactivity on day 2 and were not detected on day 7. Since only a 3% loss of parent compound was observed in the killed controls after 7 days, the loss of PPH in the viable microcosms can be attributed to biodegradation.
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.
