Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Justification for type of information:
The phys-chem report ("Final Report - "RT0080P") on Quaternary ammonium compounds, di-C12-18-alkyldimethyl, nitrites includes information on melting point, boiling point, density, flashpoint, auto-ignition temperature, water solubility and partition coeffficient. In sections 7 & 8 of this phys-chem report the appearance of the test item is noted.
Qualifier:
no guideline required
GLP compliance:
no
Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid
Key result
Form:
liquid: viscous
Colour:
Yellow to orange
Substance type:
organic
Conclusions:
Substance is a viscous yellow liquid / wax like solid.
Executive summary:

The commercial product is a solution of the "substance", Quaternary ammonium compounds, di-C12-18-alkyldimethyl, nitrites, CAS Number 71487-01-9, EC Number 275-532-1, in organic solvents, methanol and isopropanol (ca. 32%). Prior to any phys-chem testing having been undertaken, these solvents were removed by, firstly, leaving the sample under a stream of nitrogen to remove the majority of the solvent(s) and, secondly, evaporating the remaining residual solvent(s) under vacuum at 60 degress C to constant dried weight of the test item. After solvent removal the substance was identified to be a yellow viscous liquid / wax like solid.
