1,6-Bis(methoxybenzoyloxy)hexane

Endpoint summary

Additional information

Test substance is a Pale yellow crystalline solid at 20°C and 1013 hPa.

 

Melting Point: The melting temperature of SETAFIX 1077 was determined to be 85°C – 87°C (358K - 360K).

 

Boiling Point: Boiling point of the test substance was not observed. Reaction or decomposition of the test substance was observed above approximately 243°C (516K).

 

Density: The density of SETAFIX 1077 is 1.25g/cm³

 

Granulometry: The testing conducted to determine the Particle size analysis produced the following results:

Manual sieve analysis indicated that 43.5 % by weight of the sample had a particle size of < 850 μm.

A subsequent laser diffraction analysis on the < 850 μm sample produced the following results:

Average Volume %: 100.0

Mean (micrometres): 452.1

Median (micrometers): 509.2

Mode (micrometers): 859.9

95 % Conf. limit (micrometers): 160 -1270

S.D.: 1.7

< 10 % of material is 212.1 micrometers

< 25 % of material is 333.5 micrometers

< 50 % of material is 509.2 micrometers

< 75 % of material is 688.8 micrometers

< 90 % of material is 811.2 micrometers

 

Vapour Pressure: The value of the vapour pressure of SETAFIX 1077 at 20°C was determined to be: 0.019 (+/-0.3) Pa at 20°C.

 

Partition Coefficient Octanol/water: The Pow value for the major component in SETAFIX 1077 is 18000 (log Pow= 5.2) at 24.5 ± 0.5 °C.

 

Water Solubility: Water solubility of the substance was measured at 0.0000088g/L (< 0.10 mg/L)

 

Surface tension: According to COLUMN 2 Specific Rules For Adaptation From Column 1 set out in Section 7.6, Annex VII of REACH, if the water solubility is below 1.0 mg/L at 20°C the test does not need to be conducted.

The water solubility of the substance is below 1 mg/L, therefore it is not possible to satisfactorily measure the surface tension of the substance. Water solubility of the test substance is just 8.8 μg/L (8.8 x 1E-0·6 g/L) at 19.5 ± 1.0°C, so this study can be waived.

 

Flash point: According to General Rules For Adaptation of the Standard Testing Regime set out in Annexes VII to X (Section 2 of Annex XI of REACH) testing does not appear scientifically necessary. The flash point is only a relevant property for liquids, thus it does not need to be done for substances that are solids or gases at room temperature. The test substance is a solid at room temperature and therefore flash point is not justified in this case.

 

Auto Flammability: No self-ignition of the test substance was observed

 

Flammability:

Flammability test: Result is that the substance is considered "NOT highly Flammable" as the test substance failed to ignite under test conditions.

Pyrophoricity test: Substance does not contain groups that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming in contact with air at room temperature.

Flammability in contact with water test: Substance does not contain groups that might lead to evolution of highly flammable gases in dangerous quantities.

 

Explosiveness: SETAFIX 1077 is not an explosive.

 

Oxidising Properties: SETAFIX 1077 has no oxidising properties.
