Description of key information

The substance is non-flammable based on the flash point of 169°C. It is not pyrophoric and does not ignite in contact with water.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Flammability:
non flammable

Additional information

No experimental data from a flammability study are available. The flash point is the primary indicator for ease of ignition of liquids. Testing for flammability has been waived in accordance with Annex XI, 1.1.1 as an experiment is considered scientifically unjustified. No study is required and the substance is considered non flammable on the basis of its flash-point of 169 °C at standard pressure.

Experience in use has shown the the substance is not pyrophoric and does not emit flammable gases on contact with water.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures, Annex I: 2.6.1. Flammable liquid means a liquid having a flashpoint of not more than 60 °C. The flashpoint of the substance was determined to be 169 °C. Therefore it is deemed not flammable and no classification according to CLP is required. Experience in use has shown the the substance is not pyrophoric and does not emit flammable gases on contact with water.
