Description of key information

Examination of the chemical structure of the substance confirms that only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms are present. The oxygen atom is not part of a characteristic structural group of concern for oxidising properties, and nitrogen is absent from the structure. It can be predicted that the substance does not possess oxidising properties, or contribute to the combustion of other materials.

It is therefore concluded that hexyl acetate is unlikely to be an oxidising substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Oxidising properties:
no

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Examination of the chemical structure of the substance confirms that only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms are present. The oxygen atom is not part of a characteristic structural group of concern for oxidising properties, and nitrogen is absent from the structure. According to the information notified to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) Classification and Labelling Inventory database, hexyl acetate is not classified for explosive or oxidising properties. It can be predicted that the substance does not possess oxidising properties, or contribute to the combustion of other materials.

It is therefore concluded that hexyl acetate is unlikely to be an oxidising substance.
