Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Both experimental and calculated values for the rate constant for the reaction with hydroxyl radical are available for photodegradation. These are very consistent and lead to the conclusion that the dissipation half life for the parent compound is somewhere in the range 0.6 to 0.9 days, i.e phototransformation in the atmosphere is quite rapid. The molecular structure of methoxyethanol indicates that it is likely to be resistant to hydrolysis under environmental conditions, although this is not relevant as the molecule is readily biodegradable. There is no data available on phototransformation in water or soil.
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.
