Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The test substance melted when approached by the ignition flame.

The substance did not burn down or burn up.

Interpretation of results:
non flammable
Conclusions:
The substance did not burn down or burn up.
Executive summary:

The test substance melted when approached by the ignition flame (in accordance with the guideline UN N.1) and did not burn down or burn up, indicating that the substance is not flammable.

Endpoint:
substances / mixtures which in contact with water emit flammable gases
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the organic substance does not contain metals or metalloids and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
Interpretation of results:
other: does not emit flammable gases in contact with water
Endpoint:
pyrophoric solids
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied
Interpretation of results:
other: no pyrophoric properties
Endpoint:
self-heating substances / mixtures
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is known to be stable in contact with air at room temperature for prolonged periods of time (days) and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Description of key information

A) Flammability: not flammable solid
Remark: The test substance melted when approached by the ignition flame and did not burn down or burn up.
B) Contact with water: In accordance with section 1.5 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be performed as no reactivity with water is expected due to the chemical structure.
C) Pyrophoric properties: In accordance with section 1.5 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be performed as no pyrophoric properties are expected due to the chemical structure.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

As the substances melted while approaching with an ignition flame and it does not have pyrophoric properties nor a reaction with water is expectable, it can be concluded that a classification as flammable is unjustified.
