Description of key information

Triethylborane is highly reactive towards oxygen (air). It is exclusively marketed in liquid state and shipped under UN transport class 4.2 (substances liable to spontaneous combustion / pyrophoric liquids). Since the substance is a Transported Isolated Intermediate used under Strictly Controlled Conditions, no extra testing is required.

Triethylborane is an organometallic colourless clear pyrophoric liquid. The melting point is below - 20°C. The boiling point is 95 oC. The relative density is 0.684 g/cm3 @ 20 oC.The vapour pressure is 6700 Pa @ 25 oC.Partition coefficient and water solubility are waived as the substance is pyrophoric and is being registered solely as a Transported Isolated Intermediate used under Strictly Controlled Conditions. Surface tension is waived based on structure and it is not a desired property. The viscosity is 0.3 mPa.sec (dynamic). Since triethylborane is already classified as pyrophoric, flash point, autoflammability, flammability and oxidising properties are waived.

Triethylborane is non explosive.

Additional information

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
