Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary

Administrative data

Description of key information

The substance is a fluid liquid, with low volatility. In water, it is slightly soluble, and less dense, with moderate surface active properties.

It has potential for bioaccumulation in organisms.

It is not considered as hazardous with regard to physical hazards according to CLP criteria, but its low viscosity may be relevant for aspiration hazard (cf section 7 for Toxicological information).
