Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
In aqueous solution and soil moisture, magnesium ethanolate rapidly hydrolyses to ethanol and Mg(OH)2. Ethanol is readily biodegradable, while Mg(OH)2 is a poorly soluble inorganic substance at relevant environmental conditions.
Based on this fact, all physiological and environmental effect concentrations are a function of the amounts of the hydrolytic products (ethanol and magnesium hydroxide).
Magnesium hydroxide and Magnesium chloride (presumed reaction product of Mg(OH)2 in gastric fluid) are inorganic substances and are not considered as PBT Substances. Ethanol does not meet the criteria for PBT or vPvB according to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
Therefore, Magnesium ethanolate is not considered as PBT Substance.
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.
