Description of key information

Additional information

Appearance:

From authorative sources the test substance Phenethyl isovalerate was found to be Colorless to slightly yellow organic liquid with Fruity rosy odour.

Melting Point:

The melting point of the test substance Phenethyl isovalerate is predicted by EPI suite to be 16.86 deg C by the Adapted Joback Method

Boiling Point:

From authorative handbook source the boiling point of test substance Phenethyl isovalerate was found to be 264 °C

Density:

From various handook sources the density of test substance Phenethyl isovalerate was found to be in the range 0.973-0.976 g/cm3

Particle Size Distribution:

In accordance with column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH regulation the study does not need to be conducted if the substance is marketed or used in a non solid or granular form. Phenethyl isovalerate is a liquid chemical and hence this testing was considered to be scientifically unjustified.

Vapour Pressure:

The vapour pressure of test substance Phenethyl isovalerate was estimated to be 0.943 Pa at 25°C by Modified Grain Method.

Partition Coefficient:

Partition coefficient of test substance Phenethyl isovalerate was estimated to be log KoW 3.9718.

Water Solubility:

From authorative handbooks test substance Phenethyl isovalerate was found to be insoluble in water.

Surface Tension:

Surface tension of test substance Phenethyl isovalerate was found to be 34.3±3.0 dyne/cm.

Flash Point:

The flash point of test chemical Phenethyl isovalerate was found to be 212 deg F(100 deg C)

Autoflammability:

The chemical Phenethyl isovalerate does not catch fire upon exposure to air at normal conditions of temperature and pressure. Thus the chemical is not likely to be "Auto flammable" and hence this end point was considered for waiver and the chemical is not considered to be "self igniting".

Flammability:

The chemical Phenethyl isovalerate, has a NFPA Flammability rating of 0. Thus, the chemical is unlikely to be "Flammable" under normal conditions of use, storage and transportation. Hence this end point was considered for waiver & the chemical is classified as "Non Flammable".

Explosiveness:

In accordance with column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH regulation, the study does not need to be conducted since there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule of Phenethyl isovalerate. Thus, this end point was considered for waiver and the chemical is considered to be "Non explosive".

Oxidising Properties:

The substance Phenethyl isovalerate is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials on the basis of the chemical structure. It is an organic substance containing oxygen but no halogen atoms and these elements are not chemically bonded to nitrogen or oxygen. Thus, the chemical is not likely to exhibit oxidising properties.
