Description of key information
Glyoxylic Acid 50% is neither flammable, nor pyrophoric and does not emit flammable gases in contact with water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
In accordance with the ECHA Guidance document Chapter R.7a, Glyoxylic Acid 50% does not need to be tested for flammability because this endpoint can be reliably assessed on the basis of the chemical structure, flash point and experience in handling and use:
For liquids the primary value for ease of ignition is the flash point. No flash point could be determined up to 114°C when glyoxylic acid started to boil. This demonstrates that Glyoxylic Acid 50% is not flammable.
Glyoxylic Acid 50% does not fall into a substance category displaying pyrophoric properties. In addition, experience in handling and use show the absence of pyrophoricity.
Glyoxylic Acid exists as a 50 % aqueous solution. Thus, experience in handling and use demonstrates the absence of flammability in contact with water.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data demonstrate that Glyoxylic Acid 50% is not subject to classification according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
