Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Physico-chemical properties were determined from experimental testing, except Partition Coefficient, Water Solubility, and Explosive properties, that were derived from a structural analogue (racemate). Some endpoints were waived, based on chemical structure.
The substance is a white solid at ambient temperature and pressure. It has both a low volatility and a low content of inhalable particles.
In water, it is slightly soluble, with no surface-active properties. It has potential for bioaccumulation and aquatic chronic toxicity, based on CLP criteria.
It is NOT classified as dangerous with regard to physical hazards, based on CLP criteria.
Some parameters may vary slightly depending on the purity.
