Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Lithium salts of fatty acids predominantly C24-C28 (saturated) is not highly flammable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
The data on flammability has been read across from lithium behenate (C22). In a GLP-compliant study following EC 440/2008 method A10 (Harlan 2013), lithium behenate was determined not highly flammable.
Data are available on lithium myristate, lithium 12 -hydroxystearate and lithium behenate (Harlan 2013) which show that lithium salts of monocarboxylic acids C14-C22 category are not highly flammable. Increases in chain length from C22 to C28 are not expected to change in properties from carbon chain lengths of C14 to C22 and therefore lithium salts of fatty acids predominantly C24 to C28 is considered not highly flammable.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Lithium salts of fatty acids predominantly C24 to C28 (saturated) is considered not highly flammable. Experience in manufacture and handling shows that the substance does not ignite spontaneously on coming into contact with air at normal temperatures and is stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days). Experience has also shown that the substance does not react with water. Therefore, the substance does not meet the criteria for classification as flammable solid, pyrophoric substance or substance which in contact with water emit flammable gases.
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.
