Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
other:
Endpoint:
pyrophoric solids
Data waiving:

Justification for data waiving:
other:
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 completely molten at 160°C
Endpoint:
flammable solids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
25 Aug 2011
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.10 (Flammability (Solids))
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: VTA(S)21N96017.03 (internal method)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test item was formed into a broken strip.

no

In the preliminary screening test the susbtance doesn´t ignite by a hot flame from a gas burner.

Description of key information

non flammable (EU Method A.10)
no pyrophoricity
no flammability on contact with water

not self-heating

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

No propagation of burning was observed in a test according to EU Method A.10. Based on assessment of the chemical structure of substance Octadecan-1-ol, ethoxylated, < 2.5 EO (CAS 9005-00-9) in combination with experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. The substance is not self-heating, because it is a solid completely molten at 160 °C.

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 are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification:

No propagation of burning in a test according to EU method A.10. Based on assessment of the chemical structure and experience in handling and use, pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not expected. Self-heating is not expected, because the substance is completely molten below 160 °C.
