Chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol physically appear as a crystalline solid.

Melting point:

Melting point of chemcial 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol is determine in the range between 164-165 Deg C.

Boiling Point:

Boiling point of chemcial 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol is determine in the range between 205-207 Deg C at pressure 25 mmHg.

Density:

Density of chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol is determine to be 1.0630 g/cm3 at temperature 20 Deg C.

Particle size distribution:

The particle size distribution of 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol was determined by granulometric analysis with rotap sieve shaker. The particle size distribution was determined to be in the range of 150 micron to 53 micron.

Vapour pressure:

The estimated vapour pressure of 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol at temperature 25 deg C was 0.4226 Pa

Partition coefficient:

Based on the available data from authoritative and modelling databases, the partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the substance 4 -(2 -Aminoethyl)phenol was estimated to be 0.86. Based on this value, chemical 4 -(2 -Aminoethyl)phenol can be considered to be hydrophilic in nature.

Water solubility:

Water solubility of chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol is determine to be 10400 mg/L at temperature 15 Deg C. From this solubility value it is concluded that chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol is very soluble in water.

Surface tension:

In accordance with column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH regulation, the study need only be conducted if surface activity is a desired property of the chemical. 4-(2-Aminoethyl)phenol (CAS no. 51-67-2) is used as a flavoring agents. For this use, surface activity is not an important property. Hence this study was considered for waiver.

Flash point:

The study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant to liquids and low melting point solids.

Auto flammability:

4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°Cpressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol is not auto-flammable.

Flammability:

4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol 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-(2-aminoethyl)phenol is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol was considered non-flammable.

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 substance is a solid.
