Ethanol, 2-ethoxy-, manufacture of, by-products from

EC number: 310-288-2 | CAS number: 161907-78-4 A complex mixture of oxygenated hydrocarbons produced by the distillation of residues from the manufacture of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether. It consists predominantly of a mixture of di-, tri-, tetra- and pentaethylene glycol monoethyl ethers having carbon numbers predominantly in the range C6 to C12 and boiling in the range of approximately 200°C to 300°C (392°F to 572°F).

Description of key information

Values at 20C: 7.8, 8mPa.s

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Viscosity:: 7.8 mPa · s (dynamic)
at the temperature of:: 20 °C

Additional information

A measured value of 8mPas is available for the viscosity of 2-(2-(2-ethoxyyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol at 20C. A reliable handbook source cites a value for the viscosity at 20C of 7.8mPas. This is considered to be representative of the UVCB substance that is the subject of this registration. 2-(2-(2-ethoxyyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol is likely to be one of the lowest molecular weight components present, consequently, the viscosity will likely be no lower than 7.8mPas and this can therefore be considered a conservatie estimate of viscosity.

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
