Additional information
1. European Union Risk Assessment Report of Acrolein (EU, 2001)
Flash point: -26°C (closed cup)
Flammability: flammable liquid
2. Agreement with further international Reports and Studies published after finalisation of the EU Risk Assessment Report 2001
US ATSDR (2007): flash point: –26°C (closed cup)
Flammability: flammable liquid
3. Substantial disagreements in comparison to further international Reports to European Union Risk Assessment Report 2001
None
4. Additional aspects in further international Reports
US ATSDR (2007): flash point: -18 (open cup)
5. Additional information in newer Studies, not included in the European Union Risk Assessment Report 2001 or further cited international reports
None
6. Conclusions
The flash point of acrolein was determined to be -26°C using the closed cup method and -18°C using the open cup method. In deviation from the cited classification in the international reports, acrolein must be regarded as a highly flammable liquid according to Directive 67/548 (EEC) and as a flammable liquid (category 2) according to Regulation EC No 1272/2008, based on the flash point and the cut off values.
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.
