Description of key information

As this substance is highly reactive the auto-flammability of the main degradation product (ethanol) is used as a key value.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
363 °C

Additional information

There is a mechanistic reasoning to the read-across from degradation products and the analogue substances in the category "highly water reactive titanates " that this substance has no auto-flammability properties. This substance will decompose rapidly when in contact with moisture or water. The half-life based on the hydrolysis study (OECD 111) is less than 5 minutes. Complete hydrolysis will happen with no other degradation products than ethanol and titanium dioxide.

The testing is unnecessary as the self-ignition properties are related to the degradation products which are not self-igniting. In addition, the results of auto-flammability of the analogue category member (titanium tetraisopropanolate) are not presenting any self-ignition as the self-ignition temperature is > 400 deg. Celsius (Leslie S. 2010). The lowest self-ignition temperature of ethanol (CAS 64 -17 -5) was used as a key value in CSA (Groupe d’Étude de Sécurité des Industries Pétrolières et Chimiques 2008).
