Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 liquids: obsolete as covered by section 'Flash point'
Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
1994
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Extrapolated data out of published data.
Justification for type of information:
A discussion and report on the read across strategy is given as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across: supporting information
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Extrapolated from published material: Nabert and Schon, 1994.
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
extrapolated
Conclusions:
The lower and upper explosion limit are respectively 0.6 and 7.0 v%, extrapolated from published data.
Executive summary:

The lower and upper explosion limit are respectively 0.6 and 7.0 v%, extrapolated from published data.

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

Description of key information

There is no data available for Hydrocarbons, C9-C11, n-alkanes, >2% aromatics. However, data is available for structural analogue, Hydrocarbons, C9-C11, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, < 2% aromatics and presented in the dossier. This data is read across to based on analogue read across and a discussion and report on the read across strategy is provided as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.

The estimated lower and upper flammability limits of Hydrocarbons, C9-C11, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, < 2% aromatics are respectively 0.6 and 7.0 v%.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The flammability classification is based on the the flash point (> 36°C) and the initial boiling point data.
