Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

General discussion of environmental fate and pathways:

A hydrolysis test is not available for ‘propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated’. However, ethers and glycols are generally known to be resistant to hydrolysis (Harris JC, 1990). Therefore, ‘propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated’i s not expected to undergo hydrolysis under environmentally relevant conditions.

‘Propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated’ undergoes reactions with hydroxyl radicals in the atmosphere, the calculated rate constant with is 9.974 E-11 cm3/molecule-sec.

No biodegradation screening tests are available for ‘propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated’. However, tests with structurally related substances and constituents (mono-, di- and tripropylene glycol) indicate that ‘propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated’is biodegradable.

No degradation simulation tests are available for ‘propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated’.

Based on the octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow < 0.3-1.13), ‘propane-1,2-diol, propoxylated’ can be expected to have a low potential for bioaccumulation.

The Koc value calculated from the octanol-water partition coefficient (log Kow <0.3 - 1.13) using the non-hydrophobics equation from the TGD (ECB, 2003) ranges from<15 to 41 L/kg (log value ranges from < 1.18 to 1.61). The upper value is used in the PNEC determination of freshwater/marine sediments and soil.
