Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Due to the rapid hydrolysis of magnesium ethanolate in water or soil moisture, the relevant species subject to environmental distribution are the degradation products magnesium hydroxide and ethanol. For the magnesium hydroxide it was concluded that it will be found predominantly in the aquatic compartment as alkali metal and hydroxide ions and will not adsorb on particulate matter or surfaces. For ethanol one can conclude that based on the Henry’s law constant of 0.575 Pa m3/mol it is not expected to significantly volatilize from the aquatic compartment and adsorption to soil is not expected to be significant due to its high water solubility and low octanol-water partition coefficient.
