Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
One OECD 301D GLP test is available where the Reaction mass of 1,15-dichloro-3,5,8,11,13-pentaoxapentadecane and 1-chloro-2-[(2-chloroethoxy)methoxy]ethane and 1-chloro-2-{[2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethoxy]methoxy}ethane is not readily biodegradable in the Closed Bottle test, but should be classified as inherently biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable, not fulfilling specific criteria
Additional information
The Reaction mass of 1,15-dichloro-3,5,8,11,13 -pentaoxapentadecane and 1-chloro-2-[(2-chloroethoxy)methoxy]ethane and 1 -chloro-2-{[2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethoxy]methoxy}ethane is not biodegraded in the Closed Bottle test and should therefore not be classified as readily biodegradable. Lack of biodegradation does not mean that the reaction mass of bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane and 1,15-dichloro-3,5,8,11,13 -pentaoxa-pentadecane is recalcitrant in nature. The stringency of the test procedures could account for the recalcitrance in the Closed Bottle test.
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.
