EC number: 232-350-7 | CAS number: 8006-64-2 Any of the volatile predominately terpenic fractions or distillates resulting from the solvent extraction of, gum collection from, or pulping of softwoods. Composed primarily of the C10H16 terpene hydrocarbons: α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene, 3-carene, camphene. May contain other acyclic, monocyclic, or bicyclic terpenes, oxygenated terpenes, and anethole. Exact composition varies with refining methods and the age, location, and species of the softwood source.
Flammability
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- flammable liquids: obsolete as covered by section 'Flash point'
- Data waiving:
- study technically not feasible
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Description of key information
Flammability: flammable/highly flammable liquid
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- flammable
Additional information
The measured flash point of TOPP indicates that it is flammable/highly flammable. However, the substance is not expected to be pyrophoric nor release flammable gases in contact with water or air. A lower explosion limit of approximately 0.8% (volume) and an upper explosion limit of approximately 6% (volume) at 101.3 kPa was reported for the substance in a peer-reviewed source (Elvers B, Hawkins S (1996)).
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is classified as a Flammable Liquid Category 2 (H225: Highly flammable liquid and vapour) OR Flammable Liquid Category 3 (H226: Flammable liquid and vapour), according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. This is on the basis of a flash point of 5°C, 24°C and 37°C or lower and a boiling point >35°C.
