Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Diss Factsheets

Administrative data

Endpoint:
appearance / physical state / colour
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2002
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The result was obtained from a handbook which has been subject to peer-review and in which the original data sources are traceable.

Data source

Reference
Reference Type:
review article or handbook
Title:
Unnamed
Year:
2002

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The physical state of the substances is derived from its melting and boiling points at ambient pressure

GLP compliance:
no

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
propylene oxide
IUPAC Name:
propylene oxide
Constituent 2
Reference substance name:
Methyloxirane
EC Number:
200-879-2
EC Name:
Methyloxirane
Cas Number:
75-56-9
IUPAC Name:
2-methyloxirane
Details on test material:
Test material was racemate from both R(+) and S(-) propylene oxide. This endpoint is not measured / determined with enantio-selective sensors.
Therefore the S(-) value is identical to the racemate endpoint.

liquid
Form / colour / odour
Colour:
Colourless

organic

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance is a liquid, based on its melting and boiling points reported in a collection of reliable data which has been subject to peer-review and
in which the original data sources are traceable. The result is considered to be reliable.
