Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be conducted as
(a) No flammability in contact with water: The substance contains no metals or metalloids and therefore will not release flammable gases in contact
with water.
(b) Experience in production or handling; substance is known to be stable at room temperature.
(c) Not a flammable solid: On approach of an ignition source, a short burning may be expected, however, due to the low melting point, a self-sustaining combustion without supply of further energy is to be excluded. Therefore, a classification as flammable solid can be ruled out. Further, due to the low melting point,self-heating behavior can be excluded. The hazard of flammability is then described by the flash point.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

(a) No flammability in contact with water: The substance contains no metals or metalloids and therefore will not release flammable gases in contact with water.

(b) Pyorphoric properties: Experience in production or handling; substance is known to be stable at room temperature.

(c) Flammability: Not a flammable solid. On approach of an ignition source, a short burning may be expected, however, due to the low melting point, a self-sustaining combustion without supply of further energy is to be excluded. Therefore, a classification as flammable solid can be ruled out. Further, due to the low melting point,self-heating behavior can be excluded. The hazard of flammability is then described by the flash point.
