Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch: RC-1045Study specific test item informationPurity/composition correction factor: No correction factor requiredChemical name (IUPAC), synonym or trade name: Amides, tallow, N,N-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)CAS Number: 1454803-04-3Test item handling: No specific handling conditions required
Remarks on result:
not determinable

A test item is considered highly flammable when it ignites spontaneously in contact with water, or evolves a flammable gas at a minimum rate of ≥ 1 litre/kg of the substance per hour.

The purity/composition of the test item was evaluated. None of the components of the test item does contain groups that might lead to ignition in contact with water and/or to the evolution of a flammable gas. Moreover the test item was dissolved in water during the determination of the surface tension. It demonstrated that the test item does not ignite spontaneously in contact with water. The molecular structures of impurities at ˂ 1% were not taken into account.

In conclusion, MLA-3202 is considered ‘not highly flammable’ in contact with water.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
MLA-3202 is considered ‘not highly flammable’ in contact with water.
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the physico-chemical properties for MLA-3202.

 

The flammability (contact with water) of the test item was determined in accordance with the following guidelines:

European Community (EC), EC no. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, Guideline A.12: “Flammability (Contact with Water)”, Official Journal of the European Union no. L142, May 31, 2008.

Additional information

A test item is considered highly flammable when it ignites spontaneously in contact with water, or evolves a flammable gas at a minimum rate of ≥ 1 litre/kg of the substance per hour.

The purity/composition of the test item was evaluated. None of the components of the test item does contain groups that might lead to ignition in contact with water and/or to the evolution of a flammable gas. Moreover the test item was dissolved in water during the determination of the surface tension. It demonstrated that the test item does not ignite spontaneously in contact with water. The molecular structures of impurities at ˂ 1% were not taken into account.

 

In conclusion, MLA-3202 is considered ‘not highly flammable’ in contact with water.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is not classified under CLP as it does not fill the requirements for classification as flammable.

MLA-3202 is considered ‘not highly flammable’ in contact with water.
