Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
A GLP guideline Buehler sensitisation study was performed on guinea pigs using 2 -butoxyethyl acetate as the test substance. Induction was carried out using three 6 hour exposures over a period of two weeks, with a single challenge carried out after a further two weeks. No irritation was noted after the induction exposures and no sensitisation reaction was noted after the challenge exposure at either of the two observation times.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
Not sensitising
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Additional information:
The family of glycol ether products of ,which 2 -butoxyethyl acetate is a member, is not noted for showing any indication or structural alerts for respiratory sensitisation. This family of products is in wide dispersive use and none has ever been associated with cases of respiratory sensitisation. Experimental data shows that the substance is not a dermal sensitiser. It can be concluded with some confidence therefore that 2 -butoxyethyl acetate is unlikely to show respiratory sensitising properties.
Considering SAR in the glycol ether family, , it can be considered that this toxicological property cannot be expected and is not relevant for risk assessment.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
No data available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Experimental and other available evidence shows that 2 -butoxyethyl acetate does not exhibit sensitising properties. No classification is therefore required.
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).
