  • First Aid: EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.

  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF value of 0.4 was calculated for 1,2-dimethoxyethane(SRC), using a measured log Kow of -0.21(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms will be low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 18(SRC), determined from a measured log Kow(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 1,2-dimethoxyethane will have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Limited data, based on pure culture studies(4), suggest that this compound may be resistant to biodegradation(SRC). Volatilization of 1,2-dimethoxyethane may be important from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based on a measured vapor pressure of 48 mm Hg(5), but not from moist soil surfaces(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.1X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(6,SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 18(SRC), determined from a measured log Kow(2) and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 1,2-dimethoxyethane should not adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC) in the water. Limited data, from pure culture studies(4), suggest that this compound may be resistant to biodegradation(SRC). 1,2-Dimethoxyethane may volatilize slowly from water surfaces based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.1X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(5). Estimated half-lives for a model river and model lake are 33 and 240 days, respectively(3,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF value of 0.4(3,SRC), from a measured log Kow(2), suggests that bioconcentration of 1,2-dimethoxyethane will be low in aquatic organisms(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a suggested classification scheme(1), a measured vapor pressure of 48 mm Hg at 20 °C(2) indicates that 1,2-dimethoxyethane will mainly exist in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1,2-dimethoxyethane is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be about 25 hours(3,SRC).

How CAS 110-71-4 is used on this site

CAS 110-71-4 is the Chemical Abstracts Service identifier used to pin this page to a specific substance. In the current dataset, 1 EU annex record shares this identifier, which helps you cross-check whether the same substance appears under one regulatory context or several.

Use this page when a supplier specification, SDS or raw-material dossier gives you CAS 110-71-4 and you need to see every linked Annex II–VI record in one place. The entry cards above are the quickest route to concentration limits, warnings, annex placement and product-type conditions.

Frequently asked questions

A substance identified by CAS 110-71-4 may appear in multiple EU cosmetic regulation annexes when it is subject to different conditions in different contexts. For example, a substance might be restricted under Annex III with specific conditions, and the same CAS might also appear in Annex IV as an approved colorant under separate entry conditions. Each entry must be reviewed individually.

Cross-reference the CAS number against your raw material specification sheets and CoA documents. When a CAS appears in Annex II, verify absence. When it appears in Annex III, verify that concentration limits and product type conditions are met in your formulation. All annex entries sharing this CAS number are listed above.

A CAS number is assigned by the Chemical Abstracts Service (USA) and is globally recognised. An EC number is a European Commission identifier from inventories such as EINECS, ELINCS or the NLP list. Both identifiers may appear in EU cosmetic annex entries. Some substances have both, some have only one, and some older entries may have neither.

The INCI Checker accepts ingredient names, CAS numbers and EC numbers. Check this CAS number directly, then verify the result against supplier specification sheets and every linked annex condition.
