Description of key information
Based on its physical chemical properties, Linseed oil, oxidized, does not need to be classified as hazardous according to the criteria of Regulation 1272/2008/EC (CLP).
The substance is a yellow/brown viscous liquid. The substance can be more or less viscous, as it is manufactured in different viscosities.
The melting temperature of Blown linseed oil was determined using DSC. Because Blown linseed oil consists of many compounds, a melting range was measured: - 49 to - 4 °C (224 to 269 K).
The boiling temperature of Blown linseed oil was determined using DSC. Reaction and/or decomposition of the Blown linseed was observed starting at a temperatures of 300°C (573 K). Boiling of the test substance was not observed below the temperature at which reaction and/or decomposition started. Based on this, the test substance has no boiling temperature.
A pycnometer was used for the determination of the density and relative density of Blown linseed oil. The density of the test substance at 20ºC was 0.939 g/cm3. The relative density is 0.939.
The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method was chosen for the determination of the vapour pressure of Blown linseed oil. The vapour pressure at 20°C (293K): < 1.33 x 10^-8 Pa.
The estimation method was used for the determination of the log Pow; calculated from the n-octanol solubility and the water solubility: >6.
The flask method was chosen for the determination of the water solubility of Blown linseed oil: <1 mg/L.
The Pensky-Martens closed cup method was applied for the determination of the flash-point of Blown linseed oil. The flash-point of the test substance was 163°C.
Commercially available auto-ignition temperatures apparatus was used for the determination of the degree of auto-ignitability of Blown linseed oil. The test substance is auto-ignitable with an auto-ignition temperature at 1022.0 – 1031.6 hPa of 420°C.
The substance does not ignite spontaneously in contact with water and has no pyrophoric properties.
The potential explosive properties of Blown linseed oil were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). No exothermic decomposition reactions above 500 J/g with a temperature onset under 500°C could be observed. Therefore it is concluded that Blown linseed oil is not explosive.
The substance has no oxidizing properties.
The substance is manufactured in different viscosities, from just below 100 mPa*s, up to a viscosity of 14 Pa*s. The viscosity of the quality used for the studies is in almost all cases approximately 100 mPa*s (this information is provided in the confidential section of the description of test material). Most of the substance is manufactured with this viscosity.
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
