Monopentaerythritol tetraesters and dipentaerythritol hexaesters of 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic, n-heptanoic, n-octanoic and n-decanoic acids

Oxidising properties

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

oxidising liquids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidising properties and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information

The analogue substance is predicted to be non oxidising.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:

no

Additional information

The analogue substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible materials, for example on the basis of the chemical structure. In the case of this particular substance there are no chemical groups associated with oxidising properties present in the molecule (ester group does not have oxidising properties).

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification, the analogue substance is a non oxidising liquid.

 

Justification: The analogue substance contains oxygen but these elements are chemically bonded only to carbon or hydrogen.
