Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Flammability: flammable or highly flammable
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- flammable
Additional information
The flammability of liquids is assessed on the basis of flash point.
There is no indication on the basis of structure and experience in handling and use that the substance is pyrophoric (flammable in contact with air) or flammable in contact with water.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 1 of REACH Annex XI, there is no need to conduct further flammability testing.
Two studies are available for the explosive limit of the substance in air. A lower explosive limit of 0.4% and an upper explosive limit of 29.6% at temperature of 150°C were obtained for the substance using DIN 51649 test method. Also, in accordance with ASTM E 681 -94 test method, a lower explosion limit of 0.66% and an upper explosion limit of 31.62% at a temperature of 120°C were obtained for the submission substance.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The flammability classification of the substance is dependent on available flash point and boiling point results. Two reliable flash point results of 21.7°C and 24°C are available for the submission substance:
Classification based a flash point value of 24°C and predicted boiling point of 130°C:
The substance is classified as Flammable Liquid Category 3 (H226: Flammable liquid and vapour) according to EC Regulation (No.) 1272/2008.
Classification based a flash point value of 21.7°C and predicted boiling point of 130°C:
The substance is classified as Flammable Liquid Category 2 (H225: Highly flammable liquid and vapour) according to EC Regulation (No.) 1272/2008.
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.
