Description of key information
The substance is a low melting point solid with a determined melting temperature of 30 to 47 °C (303 to 320 K). Consequently, a flash point determination was performed to fulfil the requirement for information on flammability of the substance. The test material was found to have a flash point of 118 ± 2 °C and, based on experience in use, the substance is not pyrophoric and does not emit flammable gases in contact with water.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- not classified
Additional information
According to ECHA Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance (Version 5.0; December 2016), the primary value for ease of ignition in liquids is the flash point. The substance has been shown to have a flashpoint of 118 ± 2 °C using the closed cup method and is non-flammable when compared to CLP classification criteria. Since the test material does not ignite in contact with air or water, and the tested sample did not contain impurities with a lower boiling point than the main component, no further investigation of flammability is required.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Flammability of the low melting point test material has been investigated via determination of flashpoint (118 ± 2 °C using the closed cup procedure). Therefore, in accordance with CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance is not classified as flammable.
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.
