Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Butyllithium (n-, s-, t-butyllithium) may ignite spontaneously in air and on contact with water / air humidity. Studies to determine the physical-chemical properties, ecotoxicity and animal toxicity cannot be performed by standard methods because of its reactivity and corrosive properties.
Two reports on accidents resulting in death are attached to demonstrate the extreme reactivity of these compounds which requires best measurements for occupational health and safety.
All unnecessary risk has to be avoided.
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.
