Description of key information
The substance is highly flammable.
The substance has no pyrophoric properties and does not liberate flammable gases in contact with water.
The substance is not a self-reactive substance or mixture.
The substance is not a self-heating substance or mixture.
The substance is not an organic peroxide.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- highly flammable
Additional information
Flammability derived from flash point and
boiling point: The flash and the boiling point of this liquid test
substance was determined to be 8°C and 85.5°C, respectively. Thus, the
substance is considered to be a highly flammable liquid (R11 and cat. 2;
H225).
Based on chemical structure, pyrophoric properties are not to be
expected.
In the key study of flammability in contact with water, the test
substance is not considered as highly flammable (BASF SE, 2015).
The substance is not a self-reactive
substance or mixture as the heat of decomposition is greater than 300
J/g, but the onset temperature is greater than 200 °C (see IUCLID section
4.19).
The substance or mixture does not need to be classified as self-heating
as the substance is a liquid.
The substance or mixture does not to be classified as an organic
peroxide as by definition based on their chemical structure, the
substance is no organic peroxide.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC)
Based on the chemical structure and taking into account the provisions laid down in Directive 67/548/EEC, as amended for the 31st time in Directive 2009/2/EG, the substance is considered to be classified as highly flammable (R11) and not considered to be classified as flammable in contact with water or pyrophoric.
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Based on the chemical structure and taking into account the provisions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the sixth time in Regulation (EC) No 605/2014, the substance is considered to be classified as highly flammable liquid (cat. 2 H225), and is not considered to be classified as flammable in contact with water, pyrophoric, self-reactive substance, self heating substance or organic peroxide.
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.
