Alcohols, C6-8 alkyl-(even, linear), ethoxylated (<2.5 EO) is a colourless, viscous liquid.

According to OECD102 study the melting point of Alcohols, C6-8-(even numbered, linear)-ethoxylated (<2.5EO) is ≤ -30 °C.

According to OECD103 study the boiling point of Alcohols, C6-8-(even numbered, linear)-ethoxylated (<2.5EO) is 105 ± 9 °C at 101.9 kPa.

According to OECD109 study the density of Alcohols, C6-8-(even numbered, linear)-ethoxylated (<2.5EO) at 20°C is 0.9472 ±0.0002 g/cm3. The relative density of Alcohols, C6-8-(even numbered, linear)-ethoxylated (<2.5EO) is D420 = 0.947.

The vapour pressure of Alcohols, C6-8-(even numbered, linear)-ethoxylated (<2.5EO) is 14 Pa at 20 °C.

According to OECD107 shake flask method the log pow of Alcohols, C6-8-(even numbered, linear)-ethoxylated (<2.5EO) is determined to be 1.50.

According to ISO4311 the critical micelle concentration of Alcohols, C6-8-(even numbered, linear)-ethoxylated (<2.5EO) at 20°C is 4.0 ± 1.0 g/L. For ecotoxicological purposes, this value should be taken as the water solubility.
