Based on the available data from study report,the flash point of test chemical was determined. The study was performed following the closed cup method using Pensky Martin’s Flash Point Apparatus. The flashpoint of the test chemical was determined to be 99°C at 97740 Pa. Thus, on the basis of criteria mentioned in CLP regulation, the chemical has flash point > 60°C hence the substance was considered to be not flammable.

 

Auto flammability

Test chemical did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°C pressure of 962hPa. This indicates that the 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.

 

Explosiveness

The study does not need to be conducted because the 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 atoms which are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.

 

Stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products

Test chemical was reported to be stable in organic solvent dichloro methane and no degradation products were formed after 24 hours as evident from the GC-MS chromatogram obtained at 0 hours and that obtained after 24 hours.

 

pH

Based on the available data from study report,the pH of test chemical was determined. The study was performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 122 (Determination of pH, Acidity and Alkalinity). The mean pH of the 1% w/v test dispersion was determined with the help of digital pH meter. The mean pH was determined to be 3.14 at 27.9°C. Thus, test chemical is considered to be acidic in nature.

 

Dissociation constant

Based on the available data from study report,the dissociation constant of test chemical was determined to be 0.000000001 at 30°C, indicating that the test chemical has dissociating properties.

 

Viscosity

The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a solid.
