Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:

solid

Form:

solid: particulate/powder

Colour:

pale brown

Odour:

other: not assessed as there was insufficient safety data available to assess the inhalation hazards of the test item

Substance type:

organic

The test item was determined to be 2.5Y 8/4 (hue, value/chroma) by the Munsell®Colour System.

The sample of test item was visually assessed at 20.0 ± 0.5 oC to be a solid, free-flowing fine soft powder, homogeneous, opaque, forming hard clumps.

Conclusions:

The colour of the test item was visually assessed at 20 ± 0.5 oC to be pale brown and classified as 2.5Y 8/4 using the Munsell® Colour System.
The physical state of the test item was visually assessed at 20 oC ± 0.5 oC to be a solid, free- flowing fine soft powder, homogeneous, opaque, forming hard clumps.
The determination of the odour could not be performed, as there was insufficient safety data available to assess the inhalation hazards of the test item.

Executive summary:

The colour and physical state of the test item were investigated via procedures designed to be compatible with Methods 830.6302 (Colour), August 1996 and Method 830.6303 (Physical State), August 1996 of the OCSPP guidelines. The colour of the test item was visually assessed at 20 ± 0.5 oC to be pale brown and classified as 2.5Y 8/4 using the Munsell®Colour System. The physical state of the test item was visually assessed at 20 oC ± 0.5 oC to be a solid, free-flowing fine soft powder, homogeneous, opaque, forming hard clumps. The determination of the odour could not be performed, as there was insufficient safety data available to assess the inhalation hazards of the test item.
