Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Due to the extreme conditions during manufacture (smelting at 1200 °C) it can be concluded that no functional groups which would contribute to pyrophoricity/combustibility/flammability of the substance are present in slags. Long-term experience in handling and use of slags confirms that flammability is not a concern for slags, tin-smelting. 
Against this background it can be concluded that performance of a study to determine the flammability of slags is not scientifically justified under REACH.
