EC number: 271-832-1 | CAS number: 68609-68-7 The complex combination of products produced by the distillation of products from a 2-ethyl-1-hexanol manufacturing process. It consists predominantly of organic compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes, esters, carboxylic acids and acetals having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C4 through C16 and boiling in the range of 150°C to 308°C (302°F to 586°F).

Description of key information
According to the Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment; Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance; Point R.7.1.10.1 Information requirements on flammability testing for Pyrophoricity and Flammability on contact with water can be waived based on the consideration of the structure and experience in handling and use. There are no structural alerts within this substance and great experience in handling and use give evidence that no Pyrophoricity and Flammability on contact with water properties give any concern.
According to the Guidance document the Flammability of liquids is described by the Flash Point.
The Flash Point of the substance is 96°C.
Therefore no further testing is required on this endpoint.

Justification for classification or non-classification
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.
