Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Aquatic bioaccumulation


Tetraglyme has a very low measured Log Kow of -0.84 (see IUCLID Section 4.7) and therefore a bioaccumulation potential (water & sediment) is unlikely.


 


Terrestrial bioaccumulation


Tetraglyme has a very low measured Log Kow of -0.84 (see IUCLID Section 4.7) and therefore a bioaccumulation potential in soil is unlikely. In addition Tetraglyme has a low sorption to sewage sludge and therefore exposure via sludge amendment to agricultural soil can be neglected. Also indirect exposure of soil via deposition of Tetraglyme from air is unlikely because Tetraglyme photodegrades rapidly in air.
