Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Information on TEGME: viscosity @ 20C 7.5 to 8.2mPas

Information on TetraEGME: viscosity @ 20C 11.7mPas

No data on PentaEGME. However, based on the linear trend seen with this family of glycol ethers of viscosity versus number of EO monomer units over the range mono to tetra, this data allows a prediction that the viscosity at 20C of PentaEGME is likely to be around 14.8mPas (based on a predicted linear fit to the existing data with the function Density = 3.4n - 2.2 where n is the number of EO units in the molecule. Correlation coefficient R is 0.993.)

The key value chosen is the lowest possible value, therefore based on TetraEGME (rounded to 2 significant figures).
