Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
flammable solids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid
Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
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
Endpoint:
pyrophoric liquids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
Endpoint:
flammable gases
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

Experience in use and handling of the substance indicates that it does not spontaneously ignite in contact with water or air.  

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Tests for flammability of gases and solids are unwarranted as the substance is a liquid at room temperature.

The substance does not spontaneously ignite in contact with water or air and is not therefore classified for spontaneous flammability.

The flash point, determined under Chapter 4.11 of this dossier shows that the substance is not a flammable liquid even in the presence of an ignition source (flash point 162° at atmospheric pressure and CLP classification citerion is less than or equal to 60°C).

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance does not spontaneously ignite in contact with water or air and has a flash point above that which requires classification. The substance therefore is not classified.
