Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
ISO 3679 (Determination of flash point - Rapid equilibrium closed cup method)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
equilibrium method closed cup
Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Molecular formula (if other than submission substance): Not applicable (UVCB substance)
- Molecular weight (if other than submission substance): Not applicable (UVCB substance)
- Smiles notation (if other than submission substance): Not applicable (UVCB substance)
- InChl (if other than submission substance): Not applicable (UVCB substance)
- Composition of test material, percentage of components: As described in section 1.2 excluding (Fe(O)(OH)).
Flash point:
ca. 15 °C
Remarks on result:
not determinable, other reason:
Remarks:
An experimentally derived value is available on a simplified test material. However, this value is considered unrealistic for a relatively high molecular weight UVCB iron(3 +) metal carboxylate and is explained by heptane impurities, used in the preparation of the test material. The viscosity was different for different batches of the test material, supporting the view that heptane was not completely removed.
Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
An experimentally derived value of 15 C is available on a simplified test material. However. This value is considered unrealistic for a relatively high molecular weight UVCB iron(3 +) metal carboxylate and is explained by heptane impurities, used in the preparation of the test material. The viscosity was different for different batches of the test material, supporting the view that heptane was not completely removed.

The UVCB substance contains 50 weight% Fe(O)(OH) which further points to a non-flammable substance. However, lack of supporting evidence for non-flammability leads to data lacking in section 2 (classification and labelling).

Description of key information

A flashpoint of 15 C was determined for the test substance in a reliable study according to ISO 3679

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flash point at 101 325 Pa:
15 °C
