Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Fusel oil: ca. 300 °C
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 300 °C
Additional information
The auto flammability of fusel oil is based on a weight of evidence using experimental data for the substance itself and the main components of the substance. The main components of fusel oil are ethanol (CAS 64-17-5), 2 -methylpropan-1-ol (CAS-78-83-1), 3 -methylbutan-1-ol (CAS 123-51-3) and 2 -methylbutan-1-ol (CAS 137-32-6).
The experimental self-ignition temperature of fusel oil substance is reported as ca. 300°C. The experimental self-ignition temperatures of ethanol, 2-methylpropan-1-ol, 2-methylbutan-1-ol and 3 -methylbutan-1-ol are reported to be >363 to < 425°, 400 °C, 340 °C and 335 °C respectively.
The conservative self-ignition temperature value of ca. 300 °C is taken as a key value for the chemical safety assessment of the substance.
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.
