Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Auto flammability
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- relative self-ignition temperature (solids)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Justification for type of information:
- This material is a brazing flux and is stored and stable at room temperature. This material is not reactive with water as shown because water is used in manufactuing this material, as well as in further processing steps. In use, it is exposed to high temperatures (above 600C). Since it does not show flammable properties while at these elevated temperatures, it is concluded that testing for Auto-flammability is not required.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- This material is a brazing flux and is stored and stable at room temperature. This material is not reactive with water as shown because water is used in manufacturing this material, as well as in further processing steps. In use, it is exposed to high temperatures (above 600°C). Since it does not show flammable properties while at these elevated temperatures, it is concluded that testing for Auto-flammability is not required.
- Executive summary:
This material is a brazing flux and is stored and stable at room temperature. This material is not reactive with water as shown because water is used in manufacturing this material, as well as in further processing steps. In use, it is exposed to high temperatures (above 600°C).

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.
