Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 sample of the surrogate substance (Quaternary ammonium compounds, C20-22-alkyltrimethyl, chlorides) began to melt immediately. No propagation of flames or smouldering was observed within the test period of four minutes.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
The flammability of the surrogate substance (Quaternary ammonium compounds, C20-22-alkyltrimethyl, chlorides) was determined according to the EEC guideline A.10 as specified in Directive 92/69 EEC. The test item was formed to an unbroken powder strip of 250 mm in length on a ceran plate. Subsequently it was tried to ignite the powder train at one end with the flame of a teclu-burner. The sample began to melt immediately. No propagation of flames or smouldering was observed within the test period of four minutes. Because it was not possible to ignite the test item durable, no main test had to be performed.
Therefore the test item is not considered as highly flammable.
The surrogate substance differs from the submission substance primarily in the anion (surrogate substance: chloride). The carbon chain lenght distribution, which is considered as decisive for the flammability, is about the same. Therefore the submission substance is also not considered as highly flammable.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Because it was impossible to ignite the surrogate substance durable, no main test had not to be performed. Therefore the test item is not considered as highly flammable. The surrogate substance differs from the submission substance primarily in the anion (surrogate substance: chloride). The carbon chain lenght distribution, which is considered as decisive for the flammability, is about the same. Therefore the submission substance is also not considered as highly flammable according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
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.
