Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
20 March 2003
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study was performed to a good standard and in line with GLP, with a good level of reporting sufficient to assess the reliability of the results.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Visual and organoleptic evaluations were made on the physical state, colour and odour of the test material.
GLP compliance:
yes
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
solid
Form:
powder
Colour:
White
Odour:
odourless

organic
Conclusions:
The test material was described as a white, odourless fine powder when observed at 25 °C. The study is considered to be reliable, relevant and adequate for risk assessment purposes.
Executive summary:

Visual and organoleptic evaluations were made on the physical state, colour and odour of the test material. The test material was described as a white, odourless fine powder when observed at 25 °C.

Additional information

Visual and organoleptic evaluations were made on the physical state, colour and odour of the test material in two studies performed with pure and technical intermediates. The test material was described as a yellowish, odourless powder (technical intermediate) or a white, odourless fine powder (pure intermediate) when observed at 25 °C.

The study investigating the physical properties of the pure intermediate was selected as the key study for this endpoint as the most representative sample of the registered substance. Both studies were performed in line with good scientific principles. Both reports were GLP compliant and reported to a high standard. As such both studies were assigned a reliability score of Klimisch 2 and considered suitable for assessment.

The available data are considered to be complete and the description, white, odourless fine powder at 25 °C, was carried forward for risk assessment.
