Description of key information
Additional information
Benzoic acid, 4-[4-(2-oxiranyl)butoxy]-, 4-methoxyphenyl ester(Epoxyhexmes) is an offwhite, odourless, organic powder.
The melting temperature of Benzoic acid, 4-[4-(2-oxiranyl)butoxy]-, 4-methoxyphenyl ester was determined using DSC to be 78°C (351K).
The substance starts to react or decompose before boilng at a temperature of 175°C (448K).
The relative density of benzoic acid, 4-[4-(2-oxyranyl)butoxy]-4-methoxyphenyl ester is 1.247.
Light microscopic examination revealed that the Benzoic acid, 4-[4-(2-oxiranyl)butoxy]-, 4-methoxyphenyl ester contains a lot of particles < 100 µm. The shape of the product is non-fibrous.
The characteristics of the PSD of the fraction < 1000 µm are:
d10 [µm] 4.8
d50 [µm] 15
d90 [µm] 66
The vapour pressure of the test substance at 20°C (293K) and 25°C (298K) was<1.5E-3 Pa (<1.1E-5 mm Hg) and <4.2E-3 Pa (<3.2E-5 mm Hg), respectively.
The log Pow value of Benzoic acid, 4-[4-(2-oxiranyl)butoxy]-, 4-methoxyphenyl ester at neutral pH was 4.0 at 25°C.
The water solubility of the test substance was 0.586 mg/l at 20°C and pH 8.0.
Based on the structure, surface activity is not expected.
Since the substance is a solid, the flash point is waived.
Since the substances melt at <160 °C, auto flammability is waived.
The substance is non flammable, non explosive and has no oxidising properties.
For CLP there are additional data requirements that are not covered by REACH:
Flammable aerosols |
Gases under pressure |
Self-reactive substances and mixtures |
Selfheating substances and mixtures |
Corrosive against metals |
Waiving, not an aerosol |
Waiving, not a gas |
Based on chemical structure and on testing (Brekelmans 2011 DSC) |
Based ontesting (Brekelmans 2011 DSC) |
The substance is not corrosive to metals. It is a solid with very low water solubility. The substance is not hygroscopic. Based on the chemical structure corrosivity is not expected. |
