Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Flammability:

In accordance with section 2 of REACH Annex XI, a study is technically not feasible as the substance is a liquid. The flammability of a liquid is described by the flash point.

Pyrophoric properties:

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, a study does not need to be conducted as it is scientifically unjustified. Based on experience during handling and use, no pyrophoric properties were observed and the structure does not give a reference to pyrophoric properties.

Contact with water:

The substance does not Iiberate gases in hazardous amounts when tested according to EU guideline A.12.

Self-heating properties:

This class is only applicable to solids. As the substance is liquid at 20 °C and has a melting point <160 °C and is completely molten up to this temperature, the substance has no self-heating behaviour.

Self-reacting properties:

In accordance with Annex I, part 2, section 2.8.4.2 of the CLP regulation No 1272/2008 a study on self-reacting behaviour of the substance does not need to be conducted, as the structural formula of the substance contains none of the functional groups quoted in Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods - Manual of Tests and Criteria (fifth revised edition, 2009, appendix 6, table A 6.2) which may indicate self-reactive properties.

Therefore, it can be concluded by expert judgement that the substance is not self-reactive.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is not classified in the Annex I of Directive 67/548/EEC. According to the information summarized in this below, no classification on flammability is needed:

- as liquid, has with a flash point of 82.5 °C a flash point > 60 °C

- as liquid, has with a boiling point f 264.1 °C a boiling point >35 °C

- No pyrophoric property, based on experience from production and handling;

- It does not ignite spontaneously with water and does not liberate flammable gases in hazardous amounts in contact with water.

Based on the data summarized above, the substance is also not flammable according to GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008).
