Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Physical & Chemical properties

Endpoint summary

Administrative data

Description of key information

Physico-chemical properties of the substance were determined from experimental testing where relevant, or based on constituent approach when considered more appropriate for a multi-constituent substance. Some endpoints were waived, based on chemical structure of the major constituents.

The substance is a fluid liquid at ambient temperature, much denser than water, with constituents of high volatility.

In water, constituents are regarded as moderately soluble to soluble; no surface-active properties are anticipated.

It has low potential for bioaccumulation and aquatic chronic toxicity, based on CLP criteria.

It is NOT classified for physical hazards are anticipated, based on CLP criteria.
