Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The flammability of a liquid is derived by its flash point (and boiling point). The flash point of 133.8 °C concludes that the substance is not flammable. Based on its chemical structure the substance does not need to be considered either as pyrophoric or water reactive. Furthermore self-reactive behaviour could be excluded based on the result of the DSC. As a liquid the substance does not need to be considered for self-heating behaviour. Its chemical structure also allows to exclude a classification as organic peroxide.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the flammability study does not need to be conducted as the flammability is deduced from flash point and boiling point.
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the pyrophoric properties study does not need to be conducted as based on chemical structure pyrophoric properties are not to be expected.
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the water reactivity study does not need to be conducted as based on chemical structure water reactivity is not to be expected.
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the UN test series A to H for self-reactive substances and mixtures does not need to be conducted as the heat of decomposition is greater than 300 J/g, but the onset temperature is greater than 200 °C.
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the UN test N 4 for self-heating substances and mixtures does not need to be conducted as the substance is a liquid.
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the UN test series A to H for organic peroxides does not need to be conducted as by definition based on their chemical structure the substance is no organic peroxide.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the final conclusion that all endpoints relevant for a classification could be excluded there is no need to classify the substance as flammable.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
