Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
18-22 December 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Justification for type of information:
Data comes from the description of the test substance in the GLP reports on other physico-chemical properties. No guideline is required according to REACh TGD. The substance is considered to be adequately characterised. Therefore full validation applies.
Qualifier:
no guideline required

Key result
Form:
solid
Remarks:
paste
Colour:
pale yellow to dark yellow

other: no data
Substance type:
organic

In the GLP study report, the test item is described as a paste, that's why the test item is considered more like a solid than a liquid.

But according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Annex I, Part I, "liquid means a substance or mixture which: has a melting point or initial melting point of 20°C or less at standard pressure of 101.3 kPa".

The melting range of the test item was determined to be: 4.8 °C-25.1 °C. (see point 4.2). According to CLP Regulation, test item falls inside the definition of a liquid.

Conclusions:
The substance is a pale yellow to dark yellow paste at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for physico-chemical properties. A description of the sample is provided in the report as a pale yellow to dark yellow paste at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.

Description of key information
