Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
flammable solids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the experience in production or handling shows that the substance does not react with water, e.g. the substance is manufactured with water or washed with water

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

From the structural formula, Linalyl Formate can possibly react with water in a hydrolysis reaction to form Linalol and Formic acid. Both hydrolysis products are not gaseous. Linalyl Foramte is therefore not expected to emit flammable gases in contact with water.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Contact of the substance with water or damp air will not lead to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable.
Executive summary:

From the structural formula, Linalyl Formate can possibly react with water in a hydrolysis reaction to form Linalol and Formic acid. Both hydrolysis products are not gaseous. Linalyl Formate is therefore not expected to emit flammable gases in contact with water.

This is in line with the fact that during studies such as the determination of the water solubility (Linalyl Formate: Determination of General Physico-Chemical Properties, Harlan, Study Number 41400460) reaction of Linalyl Formate with water was observed in the analysis performed, but not emission of gases.

Therefore it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the contact of the substance with water or damp air will not lead to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable.
