Description of key information
As the substance is handled in molten form as liquid, testing of flammability of solids is not appropriate; instead the flash point has been determined resulting in a flash point of 121 °C (see IUCLID section 4.11). Experience in handling and use has shown that the methyl cinnamate is neither pyrophoric nor reactive in water, forming flammable gases.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
In accordance with section 2 of REACH Annex XI, the flammability (solids and gases) studies do not need to be conducted as the substance is handled as a liquid. Due to its low melting point of 34.9 °C the substance is drummed off in liquid form solidifying upon storage. For use, the content in drums become molten again and handled in liquid form. Thus, determination of flash point is more appropriate (see IUCLID section 4.11). In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the flammability (contact with water and pyrophoric properties of solids and liquids) studies do not need to be conducted as experience in use and handling has shown that the substance does not possess these properties.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Methyl cinnamate is not subject to classification for flammability according to CLP (Regulation EC No 1272/2008) or DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC). The flammability was tested by flash point determination as the substance is handled in molten form due to its low melting point of 34.9 °C and was found having a flashpoint of 121 °C, thus not requiring classification. The substance does not react with water to form flammable gases nor does it possess pyrophoric properties as shown by experience in handling and use.
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.
