Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
All MDI substances are not flammable. Although a flammability value was determined in the study from DEKRA for MDI mixed isomers, this result can be considered ambiguous and the same conclusion (i.e. not flammable) can be expected for the MDI mixed isomers. Based on results obtained for all other substances of the category, it can be concluded that MDI mixed isomers will not be flammable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The test substance is covered by the category approach of methylenediphenyl diisocyanates (MDI). Hence, data of the category substances can be used to cover this endpoint. No self-ignition temperature data is available for MDI mixed isomers. Some data is available on the structural analogues 4,4'-MDI (heated above room temperature) and oMDI. No self-ignition was observed in the Fisk and Langner study (1995) for 4,4'-MDI up to 601 degrees Celsius following EU method A.15. In the Fisk and Langer (1995) study, the self-ignition (autoflammability) for oMDI was determined for the test substance. Following the EU method A.15, the self-ignition temperature was determined to be greater than 600 degrees Celsius. Hence, it can be concluded that the self-ignition temperature for MDI mixed isomers will be above 600 degrees Celsius.
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.
