Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Form: liquid

Colour: clear colourless

Description of key information

Weight of evidence: State of the substance at 20 °C and 101.3 kPa: clear colourless to clear liquid at temperatures > -20 °C, 2018

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid

Additional information

The weight of evidence is that the test item a clear colourless to clear liquid at temperatures > -20 °C. The test item has not been observed or is not expected to be a solid at > -20 °C.

 

The test item has been described as a clear colourless liquid and a clear liquid under standard conditions of temperature and pressure. The test item has a measured melting/freezing point of -41.3 °C under atmospheric pressure and boiling point of 289 ± 1°C at 98.0 kPa in an available melting point and boiling testing to EU Method A.1 and EU Method A.2 under GLP.

 

The test item under the CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008: Annex 1, section 1 concerning the definition of gases, liquids and solids, does not meet the criteria as a gas or solid. Therefore should be considered as a liquid.
