The self-ignition temperature of chemical 2,5-Dichloronitrobenzene is found to be 465 deg C.
Flammability:
The chemical 2,5-Dichloronitrobenzene has NFPA Flammability rating reported to range between 0 to 1. This suggests low likelihood of the chemical being flammable. Hence this end point was considered for waiver & the chemical is classified as "Non Flammable" for chemical safety assessment.
Explosiveness:
In accordance with the adaptation conditions mentioned in column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH regulation, the study does not need to be conducted since the substance contains chemical groups associated with explosive properties which include oxygen and the calculated oxygen balance is less than -200. The oxygen balance of the chemical 2,5-Dichloronitrobenzene is -95. Thus, this end point was considered for waiver and the chemical is likely to be explosive.
Oxidising properties:
In accordance with adaptation conditions in column 2 of Annex VII of the REACH regulation, the study for oxidising properties need not be conducted if the chemical is explosive. The substance 2,5-Dichloronitrobenzene is explosive since its oxygen balance is equal to -95 i.e. less than -200. Hence this end point was considered for waiver.
pH:
The pH determination of test item 1,4-Dichloro-2-nitrobenzene (CAS No 89-61-2) was done following OECD guideline 122. pH of 1% w/v dispersion was measured with the help of pH meter and it was observed to be 3.66 at 27 °C.
