Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

 Judgement: Not highly flammable

Description of key information

non flammable

not pyrophoric

no flammability on contact with water

not self-heating

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

No ignition in the preliminary burning rate test (EU Method A.10).

Based on experience in handling and use pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not to be expected.

The substance has a melting range of 65.4-68.2 °C; self-heating behaviour is not relevant for substances that are 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 ignition in the preliminary burning rate test (EU Method A.10).

Based on experience in handling and use pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are not to be expected.

The substance has a melting range of 65.4-68.2 °C; self-heating behaviour is not relevant for substances that are completely molten at 160 °C.
