Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

With regards to flammability in contact with water, the structural features of the substance were evaluated and it was concluded that the substance does not contain groups that might lead to the evolution of a dangerous amount of flammable gas when coming into contact with water or damp air. No metals, transition metals, boron or silicon are present. Also, handling during the water solubility test confirms this conclusion. 
With regards to pyrophoric properties, evaluation of the structural features of the substance revealed that the substance does not contain any chemical group that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming into contact with air.
A study to determine the flash point however yielded a result of 59 oC which means that the substance has to be considered a flammable liquid.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above mentioned results, classification according to the Dangerous Substance Directive 67/548/EC is not necessary. However, Vivaldie needs to be classified as a flammable liquid (H226) under the CLP regulation 1272/2008 as a flash point of 59oC was determined which is below the cut-off value of 60 oC for category 3 (flammable liquid 3).
