Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

reference to same study
Guideline:
other: Expert judgement

Result: does not emit flammable gases in contact with water

Interpretation of results:
other: does not emit flammable gases in contact with water
Conclusions:
The substance does not emit flammable gases in contact with water. The structural formulas contain none of the functional groups quoted in Manual of Tests and Criteria (appendix 6, article 5.3).
Executive summary:

The substance does not emit flammable gases in contact with water. The structural formulas contain none of the functional groups quoted in Manual of Tests and Criteria (appendix 6, article 5.3).

Result: no pyrophoric properties

Interpretation of results:
other: no pyrophoric properties
Conclusions:
The substance has no pyrophoric properties. Experience in production or handling; substance is known to be stable at room temperature.
Executive summary:

The substance has no pyrophoric properties. Experience in production or handling; substance is known to be stable at room temperature.

Endpoint:
flammable solids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is a liquid

Description of key information

The flammability of a substance is determined following the methods N.1 (UN-manual of testing) or A.10 (EU-method). 
However, in accordance with section 2 of REACH Annex XI, a study is technically not feasible as the substance is a liquid. The flammability of a liquid is described by the flash point.
The substance has no pyrophoric properties. Experience in production or handling; substance is known to be stable at room temperature.
The substance does not emit flammable gases in contact with water. The structural formulas contain none of the functional groups quoted in Manual of Tests and Criteria (appendix 6, article 5.3).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
not classified

Additional information

Pyrophoric properties:

no pyrophoric properties

Experience in production or handling; substance is known to be stable at room temperature.

Contact with water:

does not emit flammable gases in contact with water

The structural formulas contain none of the functional groups quoted in Manual of Tests and Criteria (appendix 6, article 5.3)

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is not yet classified in the Annex I of Directive 67/548/EEC. According to the information summarized in this below, no classification on flammability is needed:

- As liquid, boiling point is higher than 300 °C;

- No pyrophoric property, based on experience from production and handling;

- It does not ignite spontaneously with water and does not liberate flammable gases in hazardous amounts in contact with water.

Based on the data summarized above, Ester PSA + DEG is also not flammable according to GHS (Regulation EC 1272/2008).
