Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In line with REACH Annex XI, a granulometry determination has been omitted because properties of the substance mean it is technically not possible to conduct the study on a waxy solid with determined melting point in the range 29 to 60 °C. This decision is in accordance with OECD guideline 110 where melting point is noted as guidance information because that physical property must be available in order to confirm the solid nature of any substance being considered for testing.

Additional information

Particle size influencing toxicological profile is irrelevant because the substance is on the border between the solid and liquid state at ambient temperature. Furthermore, the determined vapour pressures of0.0345 Pa at 25 °C, 0.0985 Pa at 55 °C and 0.891 Pa at 145 °Cindicate that exposure of humans to the test item via the inhalation route is of low concern.
