Description of key information

Additional information

Substance Endpoint 2 -tert-Butylphenol
State of the substance clear liquid with phenolic odour 
Melting/ Freezing point Pour point: < -25 °C at 101 kPa
Boiling point 223 °C at 101 kPa
Relative density 0.9811 g/mL at 20.0 °C 
Vapour pressure

0.48 mbar at 38 °C 

Surface tension Waiving: based on structure (surface activity is not expected)
Water solubility 970.7 mg/L at 25 °C, pH 6-7 
Partition coefficient, logPow

3.3 at 23 °C, pH 5.7 

Flash point 102 °C at 101.3 kPa
Flammability

Waiving: The substance does not contain any chemical group which could lead to spontaneous ignition after contact with air at room temperature (20 °C). The substance is liquid and therefore the flash point is relevant.

Explosive properties

Waiving: based on consideration of the structure

Ignition temperature 360 °C 
Oxidizing Properties Waiving: based on consideration of the structure 
Granulometry Waiving: the material is a liquid
Viscosity (kinematic) 14.7 mm²/ s at 20.0 °C; 5.8 mm²/s at 40.0 °C
Stability in organic solvents  Statement: stable in organic solvents.
 Dissociation constant  pKa at 20°C: 11.09
