Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Biodegradation in water -screening tests
The Reaction mass of bis(2-chloroethoxy) methane and 1,15-dichloro-3,5,8,11,13-penta-oxa pentadecane and 1-(2-chloroethoxy) -2-(2-chloroethoxymethoxy) 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-penta-oxa pentadecane and 1-(2-chloroethoxy) -2-(2-chloroethoxymethoxy) ethane is recalcitrant in nature. The stringency of the test procedures could account for the recalcitrance in the Closed Bottle test.
Biodegradation in sediment and water (simulation test) and soil
The reaction mass is used at the manufacturing plant during synthesis of polysulfide polymers and is reacted away completely during the reaction, with no emissions to water, air or soil. There are no downstream uses of this substance as it is not sold.
Bioaccumulation
According to REACH Annex IX, section 9.3.2, column 2, a study does not need to be conducted if for example a compound has a log Kow value less than 3. Based on existing data with log Kow of 1.6, this study is waived.
Adsorption/desorption
According to REACH Annex VIII, section 9.3.1, column 2 "a study does not need to be conducted if based on the physicochemical properties the substance can be expected to have a low potential for adsorption . e.g, the substance has a low octanol water partition coefficient. Based on the measured log Kow value of 1.6, this study is waived
Hydrolysis
The results of an OECD 111 GLP test showed that substance is hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7, and 9 with a t1/2 > 1 year
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.
