Principles of method if other than guideline:

Redox titrations are based on a reduction-oxidation reaction between an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent. A potentiometer or a redox indicator is usually used to determine the endpoint of the titration. In permanganometry a slight faint persisting pink color signals the endpoint of the titration because of the color of the excess oxidizing agent potassium permanganate

GLP compliance:

no

Interpretation of results:

other: oxidising

Conclusions:

Benzyl propionate was found to have mild oxidising property since 121.5 ml of KMnO4 was required for getting the end point of the redox titration for 100 g of Benzyl propionate.

Executive summary:

Benzyl propionate was found to have mild oxidising property since 121.5 ml of KMnO4 was required for getting the end point of the redox titration for 100 g of Benzyl propionate. This oxidation potential was not considered strong enough for for classifying the chemical as an oxidising liquid.Thus, the chemical is considered as non-oxidising for the purpose of chemical safety report and classification.
