Description of key information
The lower flammability limit of ethylene glycol n-hexyl ether (2-hexyloxyethanol) is 0.9 vol% (LFL Temp. 356 K (82.85 °C)) and the upper flammability limit is 10 vol% (UFL Temp. 409 K (135.85 °C)). The flash point of ethylene glycol n-hexyl ether is 91.5 °C.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
Ethylene glycol n-hexyl ether has a flash point greater than 55 °C (91 °C) and a boiling point greater than 35 °C (208 °C). Therefore classification for flammability according to EU criteria is not required.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Ethylene glycol n-hexyl ether has a flash point greater than 55 °C (91 °C) and a boiling point greater than 35 °C (208 °C). Therefore classification for flammability according to EU criteria is not required.
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.
