Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 substance is flammable in the sense of regulation EC/1272/2008 as well as directive 67/548/EEC. The substance is neither pyrophoric nor water reactive. Furthermore, the substance shows no self-heating behaviour.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- 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 N 4 for self-heating substances and mixtures do not need to be conducted as the substance is a liquid.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The determined flash point of the substance meets the criteria for classification of regulation EC/1272/2008 as well as directive 67/548/EEC. For regulation EC/1272/2008 if the flash point is > 23 but < 60 °C the substance is classified as flammable liquid Cat. 3 (H226). For directive 67/548/EEC if the flash point is > 21 °C but < 55°C the substance is classifed with R10. All other criteria for flammability could be excluded therefore no further classification is necessary.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
