Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

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
For read across substance: 2-(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol: 110C (closed cup)
For read across substance: 2-(2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol: 142C (closed cup)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
- 110 °C
Additional information
There is no data available for the substance 3,6,9,12-tetraoxatetradecan-1-ol. Data is available for two substances either side of it in the homologous series of triethylene glycol alkyl ethers, one of which will be more more volatile and therefore with a higher flash point. It is therefore conservative to derive the value for the key parameter from the more volatile substance 2-(2-(2 -methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol. Further data to support this interpolation is attached to chapter 13 of the lead registrant's dossier. It can be concluded that flammability is not a property of concern for this substance.
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.
