Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2010-03-22
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Justification for type of information:
See section 13.2 for the read-across justification.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Test procedure:
burning rate test: preliminary screening test
Burning time:
2 min
Remarks on result:
substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period

In the screening test the gas flame was applied for 2 minutes to one end of the substance

train, but no ignition and no propagation of combustion occurred. Only melting took place of

that part of the substance that was exposed to the flame. This means that the substance is

not considered as highly flammable and that no further testing is required.

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The source substance, for 2,2'-(C16-18 (even numbered) alkyl imino) diethanol (PFAEO C16-18), did not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smoldering, which means that it is not considered as highly flammable and that no further testing is required. As the source substance is a substance with the same structure and has a lower molecular weight, also Octadecylbi(2-hydroxyethyl)amine (PFAEO C18) can be considered non flammable.
Executive summary:

In the screening test the gas flame was applied for 2 minutes to one end of the substance

train, but no ignition and no propagation of combustion occurred. Only melting took place of

that part of the substance that was exposed to the flame. This means that the substance is

not considered as highly flammable and that no further testing is required.
