- Endpoint:
- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
- Type of information:
- other: statement
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Based on the molecular structure a statement rather than a full study was considered to be sufficient to cover the endpoint.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
- Deviations:
- not applicable
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Test procedure:
- ignition time on contact with air
- Remarks:
- Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
- Remarks on result:
- no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
- Test procedure:
- ignition time on contact with air
- Remarks:
- Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
- Remarks on result:
- no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
- Interpretation of results:
- non flammable
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not highly flammable in contact with water or damp air.
- Executive summary:
Based on the molecular structure of the test substance 2 -sec-butylphenol, a statement rather than a full study was considered to be sufficient to cover the endpoint flammability in contact with water. The statement is based on the EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water)).
The structure of the test substance does not contain chemical groups that might lead to the evolution of a dangerous amount of flammable gas when coming into contact with water or damp air. No metals, transition metals, boron or silicon are present.
In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not highly flammable in contact with water or damp air.
- Endpoint:

- In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not pyrophoric.
- Executive summary:
Based on the molecular structure of the test substance 2 -sec-butylphenol, a statement rather than a full study was considered to be sufficient to cover the endpoint pyrophoric properties. The statement is based on the EU Method A. 13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids).
The molecular structure of the test substance does not contain any chemical groups that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming into contact with air. Furthermore, experience in handling during this project shows that the test substance does not ignite spontaneously after coming into contact with air at room temperature.
In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not pyrophoric

Statement:
A test substance is considered highly flammable, when it ignites spontaneously when coming into contact with water or damp air, or evolves flammable gas at a rate > 1 l/kg of the test substance per hour.
The structure of the test substance does not contain chemical groups that might lead to the evolution of a dangerous amount of flammable gas when coming into contact with water or damp air. No metals, transition metals, boron or silicon are present.
In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not highly flammable in contact with water or damp air.
