Description of key information
Test substance is described as a colourless to yellowish liquid with a weak self-smell. Furthermore, it is stated, that it can also be solid in purified form. This is related to the low melting point of 2 -pyrrolidone of 25 °C. (please refer to Section 4.2). Therefore, it is sometimes also referred to as "a low-melting solid".

Additional information
The description of the substance is given in the peer-reviewed database GESTIS (2010) as well as by Lewis R.J.(1993).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
