Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
- other:
- Conclusions:
- According to CLP criteria the substance is considered non-flammable as the flash point is > 60 °C and the boiling point is > 180 °C.
- Executive summary:
In accordance with the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment - Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, section R.7.1.10.2, a "Flammable liquid means a liquid which may form flammable/explosive vapour-air mixtures. Within the CLP Regulation ‘Flammable liquid’ means a liquid having a flashpoint of not more than 60°C. [...] Flammable liquids are classified in three categories according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation (see CLP Annex I, section 2.6, table 2.6.1) based on their boiling point and their flash point." As the flash-point of the test item (CAS 34451-19-9) is > 60 °C and the boiling point is reported to be > 180 °C at 1013 hPa, the substance is considered non-flammable according to CLP criteria.

Description of key information
Flammable liquids are classified in three categories according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation (see CLP Annex I, section 2.6, table 2.6.1) based on their boiling point and their flash point." As the flash-point of the test item (CAS 34451-19-9) is > 60 °C and the boiling point is reported to be > 180 °C at 1013 hPa, the substance is considered non-flammable according to CLP criteria. Therefore, no study for flammability has to be conducted for butyl-(S)-lactate.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
