Description of key information
Appearance:
On the basis of physical observations it was concluded that (4-methoxyphenyl) methyl formate appears as a colorless liquid having sweet balsamic odor. From other different reliable sources it was also concluded that (4 -methoxyphenyl) methyl formate appears as a colorless to light yellow liquid having sweet herbaceous green reminiscent of seaweed odor.
Melting point:
Based on the prediction done using the EPI Suite MPVPBP V1.43,the freezing point of (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl formate was predicted.
The freezing point of (4 -methoxyphenyl)methyl formate was estimated to be 31.22˚C.
Boiling Point:
Boiling point of (4-methoxyphenyl) methyl formate i.e temperature at which the liquid changes its phase from liquid to gas concluded to be 100 ˚C.
Density:
Density of (4-methoxyphenyl) methyl formate was determined to be in the range of 1.139-1.141 g/cm3.
Different other reliable sources and authorative databases, suggests that the density of (4-methoxyphenyl) methyl formate was in the range of 1.035 (at 15.5 Deg C) to 1.108 (at 20 Deg C) g/cm3.
Particle size distribution:
The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is marketed or used in a non solid or granular form (Anisyl formate physically appear to be colorless liquid.)
Vapour pressure:
Modified Grain method was used to estimate the vapour pressure of (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl formate using MPBPVP v1.43 of EPI SUITE.
The estimated vapour pressure of (4 -methoxyphenyl)methyl formate at 25deg C was 6.1954 Pa.
Partition coefficient
Based on the available data from modeling databases using the KOWWIN V1.68 programme, the estimated partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the substance (4-methoxy phenyl)methyl formate was 1.161.
Water solubility:
WSKOW v1.42 was used to estimate the water solubility of (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl formate.
The estimated water solubility of (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl formate at 25 deg C was 2679 mg/l.
Based on the estimated value, (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl formate was considered to be soluble in water.
Surface tension:
Based on the data from ACD labs, surface tension for test item (4-methoxyphenyl) methyl formate was estimated to be 0.0362 N/m.
Flash point:
Flash point of (4-methoxyphenyl) methyl formate is estimated from authorative database to be 100.6 Deg C. As the flash point of (4-methoxyphenyl) methyl formate is 100.6 Deg C it cannot fulfill GHS criteria.
Auto flammability:
(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl formate did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°Cpressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl formate is not auto-flammable.
Flammability:
(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl formate does not indicate any ignition when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of approximately 950°C is brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that (4-methoxyphenyl)methyl formate is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus (4-methoxyphenyl) methyl formate was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.
As the flash point of (4-methoxyphenyl) methyl formate is 100.6 Deg C it cannot fulfill GHS criteria.
Explosiveness:
the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties
Oxidizing properties:
the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance contains oxygen or halogen atoms which are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.
