Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Based on the composition of the test substance, the molecular structure of the main component (40.1 %) and the presence of water (56.1 %) in the test substance, it was concluded that FORMAMIDOPROPYLBETAINE is incapable of developing a dangerous amount of (flammable) gas in contact with air, damp air or water and FORMAMIDOPROPYLBETAINE is not pyrophoric.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Flammability:
- non flammable
Additional information
The procedure for the determination of the flammability (contact with water) is based on the following guideline: European Economic Community (EEC), EEC directive 92/69 EEC, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.12 "Flammability (contact with water), EEC Publication No. L383, December 1992. Based on the composition of the test substance, the molecular structure of the main component (40.1 %) and the presence of water (56.1 %) in the test substance, it was concluded that FORMAMIDOPROPYLBETAINE is incapable of developing a dangerous amount of (flammable) gas in contact with air, damp air or water.
The procedure for the determination of the pyrophoric properties is based on the following guideline: European Economic Community (EEC), EEC directive 92/69 EEC, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.13: "Pyrophoric properties of solids and liquids", EEC Publication No, L383, December 1992.
Based on the molecular structure of the major component (40,1 %), the presence of water (56.1 %) in the test substance and on experience in handling, it was concluded that FORMAMIDOPROPYLBETAINE is not pyrophoric.
Justification for classification or non-classification
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.
