Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The substances in the lithium salts of monocarboxylic acids C14 -C22 category have relative self-ignition temperatures above their melting points and therefore do not meet the criteria for classification as self-heating substances.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The relative self-ignition temperatures of substances in the lithium salts of monocarboxylic acids C14-C22 category have been determined in GLP-compliant studies following EC guideline A16. The data on lithium myristate, lithium 12 -hydroxystearate and lithium behenate are taken from proprietary study reports (Harlan 2013). Studies are currently ongoing for lithium stearate, fatty acids C16 -18 lithium salts, fatty acids C16 -22 lithium salts, fatty acids C16 -18 (even numbered) saturated and C16 -20 (even numbered) unsaturated lithium salts, and tallow lithium salt (Covance 2020).
