Description of key information
Epichlorohydrin is a flammable substance with a lower limit of 3.8% v/v and and upper limit of 21 %v/v Epichlorohydrin in air.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- flammable
Additional information
Epichlorohydrin develops flammable gases in the range of 3.8 to 21 volume percent in air (Patty's). In another reference these limits are described as 2.3 to 34.4 volume percent in air. Patty's data are widely recognized as valid and limits will thus be taken from Patty's.
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.
