Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

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:
