Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Aerosols

Consideration of the test item as an aerosol is not required because the substance is not supplied in aerosol dispensers.

 

Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases)

Consideration of the test item as a flammable gas is not required because the substance is a liquid.

Flammable solids

A flash point determination has been performed to fulfil the requirement for information on flammability of the substance. The flash point of the substance was determined to be > 240 °C at 760 mm Hg (equivalent to 101325 Pa). Based on experience in use, the substance is not pyrophoric and does not emit flammable gases in contact with water.

 

Pyrophoric liquids

The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.

 

Pyrophoric solids

Consideration of the test item as a pyrophoric solid is not required because the substance is a liquid.

Self-heating substances

The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied.

 

Substances which in contact with water emit flammable gases

The study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be soluble in water to form a stable mixture.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

According to ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance (Version 6.0; July 2017), the primary value for ease of ignition in liquids is the flash point. The substance has been shown to have a flash point > 240 °C at 760 mm Hg (equivalent to 101325 Pa) and is non-flammable when compared to CLP classification criteria. Since the test material does not ignite in contact with air or water, and the tested sample did not contain impurities with a lower boiling point than the main component, no further investigation of flammability is required.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance has been determined to have a flash point > 240 °C at 760 mm Hg (equivalent to 101325 Pa) and, in accordance with CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance is not classified as flammable.
