Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Remarks:
The description of the substance comes from an experimental study report on determination of the solubility. The purity of the substance is stated. No specific test guideline is required.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study
Qualifier:
no guideline required
Principles of method if other than guideline:
visual inspection
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid
Conclusions:
The substance trifluoroacetic acid is a pale yellow liquid at ambient temperature and pressure.
Executive summary:

The substance trifluoroacetic acid, as 99.9% pure, was tested for solubility determination. The appearance of the sample is described in the report.
