Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The pieces of information that build the weight of evidence are the following:
A) Handbook from Flick (1991)
Purity of min. 97%
Method not described
Value of viscosity: 0.325 mPa s at 20°C
B) Publication from Ren et al. (2007)
Purity >99.0% (Chaoyang Chemical Co. Ltd.)
Description of method and apparatus (capillary viscometer)
Value of viscosity: 0.341 mPa s at 28°C
C) Publication from Wu et al., 2005
Purity >99.4%
Description of method and apparatus (capillary viscometer)
Values of viscosity: 0.3786 mm2/s at 20°C and 0.3498 mm2/s at 30°C
D) Publication from Udovenko & Fialkov, 1958
Purity and methods not described
Values of viscosity: 0.336 mPa.s at 20°C and 0.304 mPa.s at 30°C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Viscosity:
- 0.371 mm²/s (static)
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
The weight of evidence approach is justified as determined from more than one piece of information (independent sources). We claim the reliability, relevance, adequacy and quality of the weight of evidence:
- Reliability: Klimisch score of 2 is assigned to the studies
- Relevance:
o Relevance of test material: substance purity ranges from 97% to 99.4% without affecting the reproducibility of the endpoint value. The test material is equivalent to the submission substance identity.
o Relevance of test method and conditions: the tested methods are described enough to demonstrate their comparability with internationally approved test guidelines.
o Relevance of the endpoint: the values obtained extend over 50 years and show a good reproducibility.

- Adequacy: the endpoints, whereas obtained from not internationally approved test guideline, with different sources and purity of test item and at different temperatures, lead to a clear trend: viscosity of dimethoxymethane is 0.371 mm2/s at 20°C.
- Quantity: four pieces of information are considered.
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).
