Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

Information regarding auto flammability of hexylene glycol was sourced from CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (81st Ed.), which used primary and peer-reviewed sources, and thus is considered valid. The autoignition temperature is reported to be 306ºC (579.15 K), however, the method used to determine the auto flammability or the atmospheric pressure were not reported.

Description of key information

The autoignition temperature is reported to be 306ºC (579.15 K), however, the method used to determine the auto flammability or the atmospheric pressure were not reported.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
