Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 substance is a non flammable solid. It shows neither pyrophoric properties nor reacts in contact with water to form flammable gases. It is not self-reactive or self-heating as well as no organic peroxide.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

The flammability is determined in a guideline study following the quality management system of GLP. No or only minor deviations could be detected. The result could therefore be considered as valid and is chosen as key value for the chemical safety assessment.

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the pyrophoric properties study does not need to be conducted as based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected.

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the water reactivity study does not need to be conducted as based on chemical structure water reactivity is not to be expected.

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the UN test series A to H for organic peroxides does not need to be conducted as by definition based on their chemical structure the substance is no organic peroxide.

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the UN test series A to H for self-reactive substances and mixtures does not need to be conducted as the heat of decomposition is greater than 300 J/g, but the onset temperature is greater than 200 °C.

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the UN test N 4 for self-heating substances and mixtures does not need to be conducted as the substance is a solid with a melting point less than 160 °C.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Since flammable properties of the substance could be excluded either via testing according to international recommended guidelines or based on its chemical structure as well as melting point there is in final conclusion no need to classify the substance as flammable in the sense of either directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) or regulation EC/1272/2008 (CLP).
