GLP compliance:
no
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid
Form:
viscous
Colour:
White to light coloured

other: Mild
Substance type:
organic
Conclusions:
Non-solid viscous liquid, fluidity increases significantly from 24 °C on
Executive summary:

Based on visual assessment, the test item is a viscous white to light-coloured material capable of producing a mild odour. However the melting range determined according to standard guidelines starts at 24 °C, the material has no crystalline structure and is therefore considered a liquid.

Description of key information

Non-solid, viscous liquid; fluidity increases significantly from 24 °C (start of melting range)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid

Additional information

Based on visual assessment, the submission item is a viscous white to light-coloured material capable of producing a mild odour. The material has no crystalline structure and is therefore considered a viscous liquid however the melting range determined according to standard guidelines starts 24 °C, which is above the limit of standard conditions (ISO 5011, i.e. 20 °C and 101.3 kPa).
