Additional information

Dioctyl phosphonate is a colorless to light yellow liquid at 101325 Pa and at 20 °C. 

The melting point of the substance is -12.3 ° C and , after melting,  the decomposition of test item starts before boiling at 160.75 °C with a peak at 241.81 °C correlated to ΔH= 156.5 J/g.

The experimental density of  Dioctyl phosphonate is 0.926 g/cm^3 at T= 20 °C.

The test item is a liquid so the particle size is waived.

The estimated vapour pressure for Dioctyl phosphonate is 0.00214 Pa at T= 25 °C and the predicted log Kow is 6.13. 

Dioctyl phosphonate is slightly soluble in water (experimental water solubility: 47.2 mg/l T= 20 °C pH= 3.9).

Surface activity is not expected property for this substance.

The experimental flash point of the substance is major than 160 °C so it is not autoflammable and it is not considered a flammable liquid according to the CLP Regulation (EC n.1272/2008).

Dioctyl phosphonate is non explosive and it is non oxidising considering its chemicals structure (it does not contain explosive groups and , even though it contains oxygen atoms, they are not bonded to nitrogen or to other oxygen atoms).
