Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be conducted. Potential explosive properties are indicated by the presence of certain reactive groups in the molecule and/or by the oxygen balance. Since Epoxidized Palm Oil is an epoxy substance, the molecular structure shows potential reactivity. However, the oxygen balance of Epoxidized Palm Oil is substantially more negative than -200, where only an oxygen balance higher than -200 indicates the potential presence of explosive properties. Therefore, explosive properties are not expected.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be conducted. Potential explosive properties are indicated by the presence of certain reactive groups in the molecule and/or by the oxygen balance. Since Epoxidized Palm Oil is an epoxy substance, the molecular structure shows potential reactivity. However, the oxygen balance of Epoxidized Palm Oil is substantially more negative than -200, where only an oxygen balance higher than -200 indicates the potential presence of explosive properties. Therefore, explosive properties are not expected.and hence no classification according to CLP (Regulation EC 1272/2008).
