Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Purity: 100%
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
solid
Form:
solid
Colour:
off-white
Odour:
odourless

The test item was an off-white solid. The Munsell colour was 5Y 9/2. No characteristic odour was noticed during handling of the test item.

Conclusions:
The test item is an off-white solid, with no characteristic odour.
Executive summary:

The physical state, colour, and if characteristic, odour of the substance was determined in accordance with EPA OPPTS 830.6302 (colour), EPA OPPTS 830.6303 (physical state), and EPA OPPTS 830.6304 (odour). For the determination of the appearance of the formulation, 5.23 g sample was taken from the test item, transferred into a 20 mL glass vial and observed against a white background. The colour was compared with the Munsell colour-order system. Observations were performed in a fume cupboard at a temperature between 19.5 and 22.5°C.

 

The test item was an off-white solid. The Munsell colour was 5Y 9/2. No characteristic odour was noticed during handling of the test item.
