Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Type of information:
other: statement
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Based on the molecular structure a statement rather than a full study was considered to be sufficient to cover the endpoint.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water))
Deviations:
not applicable
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks:
Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
Test procedure:
ignition time on contact with air
Remarks:
Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.

Statement:

A test substance is considered highly flammable, when it ignites spontaneously when coming into contact with water or damp air, or evolves flammable gas at a rate > 1 l/kg of the test substance per hour.

 

The structure of the test substance does not contain chemical groups that might lead to the evolution of a dangerous amount of flammable gas when coming into contact with water or damp air. No metals, transition metals, boron or silicon are present.

 

In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not highly flammable in contact with water or damp air.

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not highly flammable in contact with water or damp air.
Executive summary:

Based on the molecular structure of the test substance 2 -sec-butylphenol, a statement rather than a full study was considered to be sufficient to cover the endpoint flammability in contact with water. The statement is based on the EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water)).

The structure of the test substance does not contain chemical groups that might lead to the evolution of a dangerous amount of flammable gas when coming into contact with water or damp air. No metals, transition metals, boron or silicon are present.

 

In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not highly flammable in contact with water or damp air.

Endpoint:
flammability
Remarks:
Pyrophoric liquids/solids (migrated from section 'Flammability')

Remarks on result:
no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
Remarks:
corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.

Statement:

The molecular structure of the test substance does not contain any chemical groups that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming into contact with air. Furthermore, experience in handling during this project shows that the test substance does not ignite spontaneously after coming into contact with air at room temperature.

 

In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not pyrophoric.

 

Interpretation of results:
other: not pyrophoric
Conclusions:
In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not pyrophoric.
Executive summary:

Based on the molecular structure of the test substance 2 -sec-butylphenol, a statement rather than a full study was considered to be sufficient to cover the endpoint pyrophoric properties. The statement is based on the EU Method A. 13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids).

The molecular structure of the test substance does not contain any chemical groups that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming into contact with air. Furthermore, experience in handling during this project shows that the test substance does not ignite spontaneously after coming into contact with air at room temperature.

 

In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not pyrophoric

Additional information

Flammability:

Based on the molecular structure of the test substance 2 -sec-butylphenol, a statement rather than a full study was considered to be sufficient to cover the endpoint flammability in contact with water. The statement is based on the EU Method A.12 (Flammability (Contact with Water)).

The structure of the test substance does not contain chemical groups that might lead to the evolution of a dangerous amount of flammable gas when coming into contact with water or damp air. No metals, transition metals, boron or silicon are present.

 

In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not highly flammable in contact with water or damp air.

Pyrophoric properties:

Based on the molecular structure of the test substance 2 -sec-butylphenol, a statement rather than a full study was considered to be sufficient to cover the endpoint pyrophoric properties. The statement is based on the EU Method A. 13 (Pyrophoric Properties of Solids and Liquids).

The molecular structure of the test substance does not contain any chemical groups that might lead to spontaneous ignition a short time after coming into contact with air. Furthermore, experience in handling during this project shows that the test substance does not ignite spontaneously after coming into contact with air at room temperature.

 

In conclusion, 2-sec-butylphenol is not pyrophoric
