Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on a flash point between 23°C and 60°C (46°C at 1013 hPa), the submission substance is classified according to REGULATION (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as well as UN-GHS rev. 7 (2017) as

Flammable liquid category 3.

Ignition in contact with air:

Experience from the handling and use of the substance allows to exclude pyrophoric properties (according to CLP Regulation, Annex 1, Part 2, section 2.10.4.1).

Release of flammable gases in contact with water:

Experience from the handling and use of the substance allows to exclude reaction with water to emit flammable gases (according to CLP Regulation, Annex I, part 2, section 2.12.4).

Self-heating properties:

According to (1), the phenomenon of self-heating applies only to solids. The surface of liquids is not large enough for reaction with air and the available test method is not applicable to liquids. Therefore liquids are not classified as self-heating.
