Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

DEGiBE:

- QSAR: 0.22

DEGBE (2 -(2 -n-butoxyethoxy)ethanol)

- QSAR: 0.29

- Handbook values: 0.56

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
0.5
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The QSAR is validated and a QMRF is available. The handbook information suggests that the QSAR is quite accurate but may underestimate slightly. The temperature cited is a nominal value. The QSAR suggests that DEGiBE is slightly less hydrophilic than DEGBE. It seems reasonable to assume that the logKow of DEGiBE will no greater than for DEGBE. A value of 0.5 is selected as the key value. The information is sufficient to enable a reliable prediction that DEGiBE will have no bioaccumulation potential.
