Additional information
5-Methylheptan-3-one is a colourless liquid with a low viscosity of 0.848 mPa * s at 20 °C and a relative density of 0.82. The substance melts at -57 °C and boils at 159 °C. The vapour pressure is 270 Pa at 25 °C. The solubility in water is 1.92 g/L at 20°C.
The Log Pow was estimated to be 2.15 which was confirmed by data on other ketones. The substance is surface active with a surface tension of 53.9 mN/m at 20°C and a concentration of 1 g/L.
The flash point is 43 °C and the autoflammability temperature is 405°C at standard pressure. Due to the flash point below 60°C, 5-methylheptan-3-one is classified as flammable.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
