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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water
- Endpoint:
- flammable solids
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
- Endpoint:
- pyrophoric liquids
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
- Endpoint:
- self-heating substances / mixtures
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Description of key information
Non-flammable (flash point 144 °C)
Non-pyrophoric
No emission of flammable gases on contact with water
Not self-heating
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
The substance is a liquid therefore the flammability is deduced from the flash point. Based on chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability in contact with water are not expected. The substance is not self-heating, because liquids demonstrate no self-heating properties, unless adsorbed on a large surface.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on flammability of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC)
1272/2008 and they are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:
The substance is non-flammable on ignition, based on the flash point of 144 °C (ASTM D 93). Based on the assessment of the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. The substance is not self-heating, because liquids demonstrate no self-heating properties, unless adsorbed on a large surface.
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.
