Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A reliable handbook source indicated that the the substance is colourless liquid and has a faint odour.
Executive summary:

A reliable handbook source indicates that the very closely related substance triethylene glycol butyl ether is colourless liquid and has a faint odour. It is expected that 3,6,9,12-tetraoxahexadecan-1-ol will exhibit comparable appearance and physical state under ambient conditions.
