Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Physical & Chemical properties

Endpoint summary

Administrative data

Description of key information

Physico-chemical properties of the substance were determined from experimental testing where relevant, or based on constituent approach when considered more appropriate for an UVCB substance. Some endpoints were waived, based on chemical structure of the major constituents (aromatic esters, acids, alcohols).

The substance is a viscous liquid at ambient temperature, more dens than water, with constituents of low volatility.

In water, it will partition, with soluble polar constituents, and non-polar of low solubility; no surface-active properties are anticipated.

It has potential for bioaccumulation and aquatic chronic toxicity, based on CLP criteria.

It is NOT classified as dangerous with regard to physical hazards, based on CLP criteria.

Note that the numerical parameters may slightly vary from batch-to-batch, due to the UVCB nature of the substance.
