Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Not flammable upon ignition.
No pyrophoric properties.
Does not liberate flammable gases on contact with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

For dry matter of filter cake from enzyme fermentation, consisting of fungal biomass and inorganic filtration aid flammability is derived from a test with Vinasses, residue of fermentation containing Corynebacterium glutamicum (EU Method A.10). Since Vinasses, residue of fermnetation containing Corynebacterium glutamicum is very similar in composition, flammability is as well very similar.

Pyrophoricity and flammability on contact with water are based on chemical structure and experience in handling and use.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The dry matter of this substance is not classified as flammable solid according to CLP since in a test with Vinasses, residue of fermentation containing biomass of Corynebacterium glutamicum according to EU Method A.10 no propagation of combustion was observed.

Based on experience in handling and use and on chemical structure pyrophoric properties and emission of flammable gases in contact with water are not expected.
