Administrative data

Description of key information

Appearance:

On the basis of physical observation and using the sense of smell, the test chemical was observed to be a clear colourless liquid organic compound.

Freezing point:

The Freezing point determination of test chemical was done using crushed ice + salt. No freezing was observed up to -4.85°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be les than -4.85°C at hPa.

Boiling point:

The boiling point determination of test chemical was done following OECD Guideline 103 and according to the method of Siwoloboff. The test was conducted in replicates and mean boiling point was determined to be 174°C at 974.5 hPa.

Density:

The mean density of the test chemical was determined to be 1.0514 g/cm³ at 20°C and 970.15 hPa.

Particle Size Distribution:

The study does not need to be conducted because the test chemical is marketed or used in a non- solid or granular form. As test chemical is liquid at room temperature, hence this endpoint can be considered for waiver.

Vapour Pressure:

Based on the data obtained from authoritative database, vapour pressure of test chemical was determined to be 1 mmHg which is equivalent to 133 Pa.

Partition Coefficient:

The partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the test chemical was estimated to be 0.04.

Water Solubility:

The water solubility for the test chemical was determined to be 16.6621 mg/L at 25°C.

Surface tension:

Based on the data obtained from ACD labs, surface tension for test chemical was predicted to be 23.4±3.0 dyne/cm

Flash point:

The flash point determination of test chemical was done following closed cup method using Abels flash point apparatus. The flash point was determined to be 35°C at978.7hPa.

Hence the substance was considered to be category 3 flammable substance based on GHS criteria.

Autoflammability:

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

Flammability:

Test chemical was observed to be flammable.

Explosivenss:

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

Oxidising properties:

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

pH:

The pH determination of test chemical was done following OECD guideline 122. pH of 1% w/v emulsion was measured with the help of pH meter and it was observed to be 4.03 at 30.1 °C.

Viscosity:

The viscosity determination of test chemical was done as per the test guideline OECD 114 using Redwood Viscometer No. 1. Kinematic viscosity (experimental) of test chemical at 20°C and 40°C is determined to be 17.9520 mm²/sec and 15.3912 mm²/s, respectively. Dynamic viscosity (calculated) of test chemical at 20°C and 40°C is determined to be 18.8747 mPa.S and 16.1823 mPa.S, respectively.

Additional information

Appearance:

On the basis of physical observation and using the sense of smell, the test chemical was observed to be a clear colourless liquid organic compound.

Other supporting data from authoritative database, also supported the selected key study and observed the appearance of test chemical as a liquid organic compound.

Freezing point:

The Freezing point determination of test chemical was done using crushed ice + salt. No freezing was observed up to -4.85°C. Hence, the freezing point was inferred to be les than -4.85°C at hPa.

Other supporting studies from authoritative database indicate that the freezing point of test chemical was determined to be -84 degree C.

Boiling point:

The boiling point determination of test chemical was done following OECD Guideline 103 and according to the method of Siwoloboff. The test was conducted in replicates and mean boiling point was determined to be 174°C at 974.5 hPa.

Other supporting studies from reliable source such asauthoritative database, also exhibited the boiling point of test chemical in the range of 160 - 168.89 degree C which is near to the kay value.

Density:

The density of test chemical was determined following OECD Guideline 109 and according to the IS 4730 : 1994 (Reaffirmed 2010) – Method for Determination of Density of Liquids (First Revision) using pyknometer.

The mean density of the test chemical was determined to be 1.0514 g/cm³ at 20°C and 970.15 hPa.

Other supporting studies from authoritative databases, also supported the selected key study and exhibited the density of test chemical as 1.06 g/cm3 at 20 degree C and1.04 - 1.07 g/cm3  at 20 degree C, closer to the selected key study value.

Particle Size Distribution:

The study does not need to be conducted because the test chemical is marketed or used in a non- solid or granular form. As test chemical is liquid at room temperature, hence this endpoint can be considered for waiver.

Vapour Pressure:

Based on the data obtained from authoritative database, vapour pressure of test chemical was determined to be 1 mmHg which is equivalent to 133 Pa.

Partition Coefficient:

The partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the test chemical was estimated to be 0.04.

Water Solubility:
