Description of key information

Appearance / physical state / colour:

The physical appearance of Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) was observed to be a liquid organic compound.

Melting point/ Freezing point:

The freezing point of  Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) is determined to be 18 degree C.

Boiling point:

The boiling point of Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) is determined to be in the range of 281 - 306 degree C.

Density:

The density of Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) is determined to be 0.834 g/cm³ at 20°C.

Particle size distribution (Granulometry):

In accordance with column 2 of Annex VII of the REAcH regulation this end point was considered for waiver since the chemical Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) is a liquid and is expected to be marketed or used in a non solid or granular form.

Vapour pressure:

The vapour pressure of Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) is determined to be less than 0.1 kPa (< 1 hPa) at 100°C.

Partition coefficient:

Water solubility:

The estimated water solubility of test substance Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) at 25 deg C was 4.533 mg/l.

Surface tension:

In accordance with column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH regulation, the study need only be conducted if surface activity is a desired property of the chemical. The Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) is used as a solvent, manufacturing of surfactants, etc. For this use, surface activity is not an important property. Hence this study was considered for waiver.

Flash point:

The flash point of Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) is determined to be 140 °C.

Autoflammability:

Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°C pressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) is not auto-flammable.

Flammability:

Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) does not indicate any ignition when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of approximately 950°C is brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus Alcohols, C13-15 (CAS no. 90604-31-2) was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.

Explosiveness:

The study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties.

Oxidising properties:

The study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidizing properties and hence the classification procedure does not need to be applied.
