Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
10 June 2013 to 08 July 2013
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The physical state and colour of the test item was specified by optical control and the odour was described as far as possible by smelling.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
OECD principles of good laboratory practice
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid
Key result
Form:
viscous
Colour:
The very small upper phase had a reddish-brown colour and an oily consistency. The lower phase was the main phase. It was a highly viscous tarry liquid with and black colour.
Odour:
other: Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil had an intensive organic and smoky odour.
Substance type:
organic
Conclusions:
Directly after stirring Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil was a highly viscous liquid with a dark brown to black colour. It was segmented into two phases immediately after stirring. The very small upper phase had a reddish-brown colour and an oily consistency. The lower phase was the main phase. It was a highly viscous tarry liquid with black colour.
Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil had an intensive organic and smoky odour.

Executive summary:

The physical state and colour of the test item was specified by optical control and the odour was described as far as possible by smelling.The test was performed at 20.4 °C with a white background. The light was a mix of day light and artificial light at a light intensity of 3500 to 4200 lux. Before testing Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil was tempered to 20 °C under stirring on a magnetic stirrer for 90 minutes.
