Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Data waiving:
study technically not feasible
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the flash point is only relevant to liquids and low melting point solids
Justification for type of information:
A guideline study was conducted to determine the flashpoint of 50% aqueous solution of the test substance. In the study of Schuurman (1996), the flashpoint of 50% aqueous solution of the test substance was determined to be 105°C (closed cup method).

Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
1996
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Although not GLP, there is no reason to doubt the results obtained from these straight forward and routinely used tests. Furthermore, results are completely in line with general available information.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Version / remarks:
Cited as Directive 92/69/EEC, A.9
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
closed cup
Key result
Flash point:
> 105 °C
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the flash point was determined to be 105°C.
Executive summary:

A study was comnducted to determine the flashpoint of the test substance, C12-C16 ADBAC (50% active in water) according to the EU Method A.9, using close cup method. Under the study conditions, the flash point was determined to be 105°C (Schuurman, 1996).

Endpoint:
flash point of flammable liquids
Type of information:
read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
1996
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Although not GLP, there is no reason to doubt the results obtained from these straight forward and routinely used tests. Furthermore, results are completely in line with general available information.
Justification for type of information:
Refer to the Quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) category or section 13 of IUCLID for details on the category justification.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.9 (Flash-Point)
Version / remarks:
Cited as Directive 92/69/EEC, A.9
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
closed cup
Key result
Flash point:
> 105 °C
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the flash point was determined to be 105°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the flashpoint of the read across substance, C12-C16 ADBAC (50% active in water) according to the EU Method A.9, using close cup method. Under the study conditions, the flash point was determined to be 105°C (Schuurman, 1996).

Based on the results of the read across, a similar flash point is expected for the test substance.

Description of key information

No study was conducted for the pure form of the test substance. However, the flash point for the liquid form of the substance was determined based on a study conducted with a 50% aqueous solution form of the read across substance, C12-16 ADBAC, using the close cup method according to EU Method A.9 (Schuurman P, 1996).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Pure substance: Flash point study waived (see below); 50% aqueous solution: 105 °C
