Description of key information

Appearance:

On the basis of physical observation, test chemical was observed to be a dark brown crystalline powder.

Melting point:

A study was performed to determine the melting point of test chemical in atmospheric pressure. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 102 (Melting point / Melting Range) for testing of chemicals. Mean decomposition temperature of test chemical was observed to be 116.5 °C at 976.1 hPa.

 

Boiling point:

Based on the prediction done using the EPI Suite MPVPBP V1.43, the Boiling point of test chemical was predicted. The boiling point of test chemical was estimated to be 498 ˚C.

 

Density:

A study was performed to determine the density of test chemical in respective atmospheric pressure and temperature conditions. The study was conducted in accordance with OECD guideline for the Testing of Chemicals no. 109; Density of Liquid and Solids and Adopted from method recommended in the International Pharmacopoeia, fourth Edition, 2014. The mean pour density and tapped density of test chemical was determined to be 1.0641 g/cm³ and 1.1901 g/cm³ at 26 °C and 978.0 hPa.

 

Particle size distribution (Granulometry):

The particle size distribution of test chemical was determined by granulometric analysis with rotap sieve shaker. The particle size distribution was determined to be in the range of 150 micron to 75 micron.

Vapour pressure:

Modified Grain method was used to estimate the vapour pressure of test chemical using MPBPVP v1.43 of EPI SUITE. The estimated vapour pressure of the test chemical at 25 °C was 3.29E-09 mm Hg which is equivalent to 4.38E-7 Pa.

 

Partition coefficient:

KOWWIN V1.68 was used to estimate the octanol water partition coefficient of the test chemical. The estimated log POW of the test chemical was estimated to be -0.737. Based on the estimated data, test chemical can be considered to be hydrophilic in nature.

Water solubility:

The study was conducted to determine the solubility of test chemical in ultra-pure water, according to the OECD guideline 105 and OECD 101. Test was conducted at 25±2 °C in two stages; preliminary test for 24/96 h, followed by confirmatory test for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h in replicates. The final water solubility value was calculated based on average of the individual values obtained after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. The difference between the average values in three vessels was not observed more than 15%. The water solubility value was observed to be 580.8 g/L at 25°C.

Surface tension:

The study does not need to be conducted because surface activity is not a desired property of the material.

 

Flash point:

The study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant to liquids and low melting point solids.

Auto-flammability:

Test chemical did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°C pressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that test chemical is not auto-flammable.

 

Flammability:

Test chemical does not indicate any ignition when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of approximately 950°C is brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that test chemical is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus test chemical was considered non-flammable.

 

Explosiveness:

The study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties.

 

Oxidizing properties:

The study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance contains oxygen or halogen atom which are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.

 

pH:

The pH determination of test chemical was done as per the test guideline OECD Guideline 122 (Determination of pH, Acidity and Alkalinity). The mean pH of the test dispersion was determined with the help of digital pH meter. The pH value for 1% aqueous solution of test chemical was observed to be 6.93 at 23.3 °C.
