Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- not highly flammable upon ignition
- no pyrophoric properties
- does not liberate flammable gases on contact with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The determination was performed by screening test "burning behaviour" based on Guideline VDI 2263, Part 1, Chapter 1.2.

- Upon ignition the substance was brief ignition followed by rapid extinction. (FBI= 2 at RT & 80°C)

- Based on chemical structure and experience in handling and use of substance the pyrophoric properties and the flammability in contact with water are not to be expected.

Justification for classification or non-classification

- Upon ignition the test substance was brief ignition followed by rapid extinction

- Based on chemical structure and experience in handling and use of substance the pyrophoric properties and the flammability in contact with water are not to be expected.

The flammability was performed by screening test "burning behaviour" based on Guideline VDI 2263, 1990 and the theoretical assessments of pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are based on section R.7.1.10 of Guidance chapter R.7a of REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

It can be concluded that the substance should not be classified as a flammable material.

Further justification:

- The substance does not need to be classified as self-reactive substance under the UN-GHS as the heat of decomposition is below 300 J/g.

- The substance does not need to be classified as self-heating substance under the UN-GHS as the substance is a solid and has a melting point below 160°C.
