Description of key information
The substances in the lithium salts of monocarboxylic acids C14 -C22 category have relative self-ignition temperatures above their melting points and therefore do not meet the criteria for classification as self-heating substances.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The relative self-ignition temperatures of substances in the lithium salts of monocarboxylic acids C14-C22 category have been determined in GLP-compliant studies following EC guideline A16. The data on lithium myristate, lithium 12 -hydroxystearate and lithium behenate are taken from proprietary study reports (Harlan 2013). Studies are currently ongoing for lithium stearate, fatty acids C16 -18 lithium salts, fatty acids C16 -22 lithium salts, fatty acids C16 -18 (even numbered) saturated and C16 -20 (even numbered) unsaturated lithium salts, and tallow lithium salt (Covance 2020).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
