Particle size distribution (Granulometry):
The particle size distribution of test item was determined by granulometric analysis with rotap sieve shaker. The particle size distribution was determined to be in the range of 150 micron to 25 micron.
Vapour pressure:
Available data from prediction database and handbook estimates the vapour pressure of the test chemical at 25°C is 0.00217 Pa.
Partition coefficient:
Based on the available data from experimental study report,the partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chemical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. A test item solution was prepared by accurately weighing 5 mg of test item and diluted with ACN up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 500 mg/l. The pH of test substance was 6.08. The reference substances were chosen according to functional similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared .The reference substances were Biphenyl,Toluene, n-Butylbenzene, Naphthalene, 4 -Acetylpyridine having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.6. The Log Pow value was found to be 0.119 ± 0.008 at 25°C. The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chmeical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. The reference substances were chosen according to estimated Pow range of the test substance and generalized calibration graph was prepared. The reference substances were having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.6 .The Log Pow value was determined to be 0.119 ± 0.008 dimensionless at 25°C. On the basis of this value, test chemical can be considered to be hydrophobic in nature.
Water solubility :
The water solubility determination of test chemical was done by spectrophotometric method. The water solubility was determined to be 2589.98 mg/L at 30°C. This value indicates the chemical is soluble in water.
Surface tension:
In accordance with column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH regulation, the study need only be conducted if surface activity is a desired property of the chemical. Test chemical is primarily used as a photographic developer. For this use, surface activity is not a desired property. Hence this study was considered for waiver.
Flash point :
The mean flash point
of test chemical is 135.3°C at 973.9hPa.
Auto flammability:
Test chemical did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°C pressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that test chemcial is not auto-flammable.
Flammability:
Test chemicaldoes not indicate any ignition when the flame of bunsen burner having temperature of approximately 950°C is brought in contact with it. Thus it can be concluded that test chemical is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus test chemical was considered non-flammable.
Explosiveness:
In accordance with column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH regulation, the study does not need to be conducted since there are no chemical groups associated with explosive properties present in the molecule of test chemical. Thus, this end point was considered for waiver and the chemical is considered to be "Non explosive".
Oxidizing properties:
In accordance with column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH regulation, test substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials on the basis of the chemical structure. It is an organic substance containing an oxygen atom but no halogen atoms. Also, the oxygen atom is not chemically bonded to nitrogen or oxygen. Thus, the chemcial is likely to be "Non-oxidising".
pH :
The pH of 1% w/v dispersion of the test chemical was determined to be 4.02 at 30 °C.
