Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Non flammable (based on flash point).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Testing for this endpoint has been waived because the study is scientifically unjustified. The substance is a liquid (see section 4.1), and the key value for flammability of liquids is the flash point (see section 4.11).

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, section 2.6, "Flammable liquid means a liquid having a flash point of not more than 60 °C". The flash point (IUCLID section 4.11 , CSR section 1.3), 78 °C, is higher than this value and so the substance should not be classified as a flammable liquid. However, the substance has a flash point of ≤ 93 °C. Therefore, if it is used in an aerosol at >1% the aerosol should be considered for classification in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, Annex I, section 2.3, Figure 2.3.1. The substance is a liquid under standard conditions (IUCLID section 4.1, CSR section 1.3) with a freezing point of < -50 °C (see IUCLID section 4.2, CSR section 1.3), so the substance should not be classified as a flammable solid, and with a low vapour pressure of 1.7 Pa at 20 °C (see IUCLID section 4.6, CSR section 1.3), so the substance should not be classified as a flammable gas.
