  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 8 was calculated for phenyl glycidyl ether(SRC), using a water solubility of 2,400 mg/L(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 60(SRC), determined from a water solubility of 2,400 mg/L(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that phenyl glycidyl ether is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of phenyl glycidyl ether from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.2X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 1.0X10-2 mm Hg(2), and water solubility(2). Phenyl glycidyl ether is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(2). A theoretical BOD range from 0 to 6% after 5 days using activated sludge(4,5) indicates that biodegradation may not be an important fate process in soil(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 60(SRC), determined from a water solubility of 2,400 mg/L(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that phenyl glycidyl ether is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.2X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 1.0X10-2 mm Hg(2), and water solubility(2). Epoxides in general hydrolyze rapidly at 25 °C and pH 7(4) through neutral, acid, or base-mediated reactions(5). Hydrolysis products are usually the corresponding diol and sometimes re-arranged products(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 8(SRC), from its water solubility(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). A theoretical BOD range from 0 to 6% after 5 days using activated sludge(7,8) indicates that biodegradation may not be an important fate process in water(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), phenyl glycidyl ether, which has a vapor pressure of 1.0X10-2 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase phenyl glycidyl ether 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 13 hrs(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.9X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Phenyl glycidyl ether does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(4).

Verification workflow and record completeness

Before using this result in a compliance decision

  1. Confirm that “1,2-Epoxy-3-phenoxypropane (phenylglycidyl ether)” and every CAS/EC identifier refer to the material in your supplier specification.
  2. Search exact identity across Schedules 4–8.
  3. Apply use, concentration and warning conditions.
  4. Check hazardous-substance classification and Group Standard scope.
  5. Confirm the latest legal instrument, not only the spreadsheet.
  6. Document the source version and recheck the regulator before manufacture, notification or market placement.

Questions this page answers

This official record identifies the substance as prohibited for cosmetic use in the stated market scope. Do not rely on a formulation containing this identity until the cited source, effective date and exact substance match have been verified.

A prohibition entry may contain no separate condition text because the regulatory outcome is the prohibition itself. The searchable spreadsheet is an aid; the legal Group Standard and incorporated notices remain authoritative.

The record cites Schedule 4, reference 659, source row 683, source version effective-2026-01-01. Open the official source.

No. CAS helps resolve identity, but jurisdictions can classify the same substance differently and can apply different product scopes, limits, warnings and transition dates.
