Key result
Form:
solid: crystalline
Remarks:
tenacious and sticky
Colour:
white
Odour:
other: faint, marzipan-like odour
Substance type:
organic

Due to the hygroscopic behaviour the substance deliquesced when it was bought to air for several minutes.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the substance was a crystalline, hygroscopic, sticky white solid with a faint marzipan-like odour at 20ºC.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the appearance, physical state and colour of the test substance according to EPA OPPTS 830.6302, .6303 and .6304, in compliance with GLP. Under the study conditions, the substance was a crystalline, hygroscopic, sticky white solid with a faint marzipan-like odour at 20ºC (Schulze, 2007).
