Description of key information

Appearance:

On the basis of physical observation and using the sense of smell, 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde was determine to be a yellow to beige solid crystals.

Melting point:

Melting point of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde is determine in the range of 65 to 66 Deg C.

Boiling Point:

Based on prediction done using MPBPVP v1.43,the Boiling point of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde was estimated to be 320.25 Deg C.

Density:

Based on prediction done using ACD/I-Lab 2.0,the density of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde was estimated to be 1.169 g/cm3 at temperature 20 Deg C & pressure at 760 Torr.

Particle size distribution:

The particle size distribution of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde was determined by granulometric analysis with rotap sieve shaker. The particle size distribution was determined to be in the range of 150 micron to 53 micron.

Vapour pressure:

The estimated vapour pressure of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde at 25 Deg C was 0.0225 Pa.

Partition coefficient:

Based on the available data from modeling databases using the KOWWIN V1.68 program, the partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the substance6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehydewas estimated to be 2.97.

Water solubility:

The estimated water solubility of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde at 25 deg C was 150.1 mg/l

Surface tension:

Based on the data from ACD labs, surface tension for 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde was predicted to be 0.0452 N/m.

Flash point:

Flash point of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde is estimated to be 162.7 Deg C.

Auto flammability:

6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde did not catch fire on being exposed to air at room temperature of 27°C pressure of 966 hPa. This indicates that  6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde is not auto-flammable.

Flammability:

6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde does 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 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde is not flammable at high temperature. However since such high temperatures are not found under normal circumstances of transportation and use, thus 6-Methoxy- 2-naphthaldehyde was considered non-flammable for chemical safety assessment.

Explosiveness:

the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties.

Oxidizing properties:

the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance contains oxygen or halogen atoms which are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.
