Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
14 September 2017 to 16 May 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Qualifier:
no guideline required
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The physical state and characteristics of the substance were described in the substance storage and handling section of a relevant and reliable study report, conducted at a reputable testing laboratory. Observations were made at ambient room temperatures (ca. 20 °C and 1013 hPa) in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Specific details on test material used for the study:

Other names: bis(1-methylheptyl) maleate
Physical state: Clear liquid
CAS number: 85566-63-8
EC number 287-673-6
Molecular weight: 340.5 g/mol

Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
liquid
Key result
Form:
liquid
Colour:
clear, colourless liquid
Odour:
odourless
Substance type:
organic

The room temperature was measured at 18°C and the air pressure was 99.1 kPa. Bernel Ester DCM was described as a mobile, transparent liquid.

The colour was compared with colour charts used to identify the colour and described as a clear, colourless liquid. Bernel Ester DCM did not have a BS 5252:1976 colour reference or a Munsell equivalent.

No strong characteristic odour was noticed during the handling of Bernel Ester DCM.

Conclusions:
The substance was determined to be a clear, colourless liquid, at 20 °C and 1013 hPa.
Executive summary:

This information was conducted to generally accepted scientific principles. The registered substance (EC 287-673-6) was determined to be a clear, colourless liquid, at 20 °C and 1013 hPa.

The information was taken from a GLP certified study report.
