Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
This test determines the lower flammable limit of a vapour in air at atmospheric pressure. The sample is allowed to equilibrate with air in a glass vessel. A spark is then passed between electrodes for 0.5 seconds. The results are quoted as % volume of gas required per volume air.
GLP compliance:
yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The lower flammability limit of pyrolysis C5 has been determined to be 1.05 % v/v in air at 98.9 kPa and 35°C.
Executive summary:

This study was conducted to GLP and is clearly described. The test determined the lower flammability limit of pyrolysis C5 vapour.
