Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The substance is described by the registrant to be a clear to off yellow/brown molten mass at room temperature.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Physical state at 20°C and 1013 hPa:
- solid
Additional information
Two key studies are included to address this endpoint; both were awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
In the first study, the physical state and appearance of the registered material was assessed as part of the study carried out to assess its spectral characteristics. The laboratory identified 2,6-Xylenol as brown coloured crystals.
The other data provided to address this endpoint is a statement by the registrant as to the physical state and appearance of the substance. The substance is produced as a liquid (temperature above the melting point) and changes into a molten mass at room temperature. Normally it is clear, but can discolour to off yellow/brown.
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.
