Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 the flash point does not need to be conducted, if the estimated flash point is above 200 °C. Sodium N-methyltaurinate has a high melting point of 160 °C. In addition, the substance is synthesized as aqueous solution at 300 °C and 16.5 MPa. By distillation, the concentration is increased to a maximum of 62 %, which shows that the substance is not volatile from the liquid phase. This is supported by the calculated vapour pressure. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that only low amounts of the substance are present within the vapour phase, which reduces the probability to form ignitable vapours. In conclusion, the flash point of the substance can be considered to be above 200 °C.
