Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

Two studies are provided to address the endpoint in a weight of evidence approach. Although determining the appearance, physical state and colour was not the focus of the data presented to address this endpoint, the information was reported in high quality studies performed to relevant standardised guidelines and under GLP conditions. As such, the observations made by the respective study directors are considered to be an accurate reflection of the physical state of the test material. The data were therefore both assigned a reliability score of 1.
