Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

There is enough evidence on the degradation products and the analogue substances in the category " highly water reactive titanates " that this substance has no auto-flammability properties. There is a mechanistic reasoning to the read-across from degradation products and the analogue substances in the category (see category and read-across justification in Annexes of the CSR). This substance is reactive to moisture and will decompose rapidly when in contact with water. Complete hydrolysis will happen with no other degradation products than n-butanol and hydrated titanium dioxide.

The testing is unnecessary as the self-ignition properties are related to the degradation product (n-butanol and hydrated titanium dioxide) which are not self-igniting. In addition, the results of auto-flammability test (EU A15) of the analogue category member (titanium tetraisopropanolate) is not presenting any self-ignition as the self-ignition temperature is > 400 deg. Celsius (Leslie S. 2010). The lowest auto-ignition T of the degradation product (n-butanol) is used as a key value in CSA. This value is obtained from peer-reviewed secondary source (CHEMSAFE 1997).
