- Conclusions:
- The colour of solid and liquid, pure test substance with a melting point at 20.8 °C is white and clear respectively, and the odour is faintly mercaptan·like.
- Executive summary:
A GLP_compliant study was performed to determine the physical state, colour and odour of the test substance in accordance with the guidelines EPA OPPTS 830.6302 (Colour) and EPA OPPTS 830.6303 (Physical State) and EPA OPPTS 830.6304 (Odour). The substance was found to be a low melting point white solid which forms a clear liquid at temperatures above its freezing point of 20.8 °C (294 K). The odour is defined as faintly mercaptan-like.

Additional information
The appearance of the test substance was determined in two studies. The test substance has been determined to be white to yellow in colour, by visual assessment, at ambient temperature. The substance was found to be a low melting point solid which forms a liquid at temperatures above its freezing point of 20.8 °C (294 K) with an odour defined as faintly mercaptan-like.
