Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Based on visual observation made upon receipt by Defitraces, a testing laboratory involved in the performance of phys-chem tests in view of REACH registration (Klimisch score 2, Demangel, 2017), the test item can be described as a white powder. Additionally, based on the safety data sheet of a manufacturer (Klimisch score 2, TIAG, 2015), the test item is a white odourless powder. Both data sources have been included in a weight of evidence approach for endpoint coverage.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
