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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- Test procedure:
- ignition time on contact with air
- Remarks:
- Ignition on contact with air refers to either Pyrophoric solids or Pyrophoric liquids depending on physical state (migrated information).
- Remarks on result:
- no ignition on contact with air (not further specified)
- Remarks:
- corresponding to 'no' in migrated source record.
- Interpretation of results:
- non flammable
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- In the course of Water solubility study 10-06422 according to EU A.6 / OECD 105 test method, it was realized that the test item can be mixed in water without development of gas.As no gas is developed when the test item gets in contact with water, the determination of the Flammability (EEC-directive 92/69/EEC, A.12 (Contact with water)) is not applicable.
- Executive summary:
The flammability is determined according the test method A.12. "Flammability (contact with water)" as described in Directive 92/69/EEC (Official Journal of the European Communities L383A; The practical procedure is described according to in-house test method VTA(S)23N96020.05

Additional information
In the course of Water solubility study 10-06422 according to EU A.6 / OECD 105 test method, it was realized that the test item can be mixed in water without development of gas. As no gas is developed when the test item gets in contact with water, the determination of the Flammability (EEC-directive 92/69/EEC, A.12 (Contact with water) ) is not applicable.
Justification for classification or non-classification
For the definition of flammability , REACH refers to regulation 67/548. According to this regulation flammability is not required for liquids if the flash point is above 60°C. The flash point of this substance is 118.5°C, well above the limit of 60°C.
No classification for flammability is warranted under 67/548/ECC or Regulation 1272/2008
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.
