Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 biodegradability of Reaction mass of 2-ethyl-2-(methoxymethyl)-propane-1,3-diol and 2 ethylpropane-1,3-diol was determined according to OECD guideline 301A (DOC Die away test). The amount of biodegradation observed comprised ca. 30% after 7 days and increased to ca. 81% after 14 days. 2-ethylpropane-1,3-diol can therefore be classified as readily biodegradable and passing the 10 day window. As such removal in the environment is expected to be rapid and so further information on abiotic removal (hydrolysis), transport and distribution (adsorption/desorption) are not required.
There is no risk of persistence in the environment and biological removal processes will be rapid with complete mineralization expected within a short time frame.
The weighted average log Pow of Reaction mass of 2-ethyl-2-(methoxymethyl)-propane-1,3-diol and 2 ethylpropane-1,3-diol is low (0.42). As such no significant adsorption to soil or sediment is expected. Similarly there is no risk of bioaccumulation for 2-ethylpropane-1,3-diol based on the log Pow.
Additional information
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
