Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

According to REACH Regulation (Annex VII, 7.12, column II), the study on flammability is not needed, if the substance is completely molten at 160 °C. Sodium N-methyltaurinate has a melting point of 160 °C. In addition, the substance is manufactured and used as aqueous solution of maximal 62 %, reducing the flammability. Thus, it can be considered that the substance is not flammable.

This is supported by the fact that the read-across substance sodium methyl oleoyl taurate is considered to be non-flammable according to the peer-reviewed GSBL database. However, the database does not provide additional information on the testing method and purity, impurities or composition of the tested material.
