Description of key information
Additional information
Carbon tetrachloride (CTC) is a colourless organic liquid with a sweetish odour with melting point of -22.62°C and a boiling point of 76.8°C. It has a density of 1.59g/cm3 at 20°C. CTC has a vapour pressure of 12 kPa around 20°C and a viscosity of 1.35 mPa.s at 20°C.
Experience in handling indicates that the substance is not pyrophoric and is not flammable on contact with water. In addition, carbon tetrachloride has no flash point according to a guideline and thus is not classified as flammable. As a consequence, a study on the auto-flammability does not need to be conducted according to REACH annex VII, column 2.
Based on its structure, carbon tetrachloride does not have oxidising properties nor explosive properties.
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.
