Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water and sediment: simulation tests

Description of key information
No simulation tests in water and sediment are available for dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate present in freshwater has a low potential for adsorption to sediment, as indicated by the low adsorption coefficient to organic carbon (Koc=186 L/kg). Based on the distribution modeling (Level III fugacity model), most of the substance released directly to water will remain in the water compartment and is expected to be biodegraded. The risk assessment shows that the PEC/PNEC ratios for sediment are clearly < 1, indicating no need for further information or testing. According to REACH Annex IX requirements, sediment simulation testing shall only be considered for substances with a high potential for adsorption to sediment, hence a simulation test in water and sediment can be waived for dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate.
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.
