Description of key information
Additional information
Brominated Epoxy having Epoxy Equivalent of 400 gr/eq is an oligomeric mixture. Hence, the substance appearance is composition depended. A typical composition forms a light-yellow viscous waxy solid with unidentified particles. A substance composition containing 92% of the smallest component (n=0) is a solid (generic name F-2200) with identified particles. Phys-chem properties comparison of Brominated Epoxy having Epoxy Equivalent of 400 gr/eq and F-2200 has been made in order to assess properties variation between the two substance compositions. Identical properties have been detected in water solubility and partition coefficient n-octanol/water and density studies. Variation in properties has been detected in appearance and melting point. Granulometry is performed only for F-2200, as for the higher oligomer this is not possible due to waxy aggregation state. F-2200 is regarded as a specific constituent composition of Brominated Epoxy having Epoxy Equivalent of 400 gr/eq.
n=0 component (F-2200) is been considered as worst case scenario, based on the following considerations:
1. Molecular size - the smallest component
2. Molecular weight - the smallest component
3. Water solubility - the most water soluble component.
Thus, phys-chem values of n=0 component are been taken for assessment and analytical methods were developed to detect concentrations of this component in various studies.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
