- extremely flammable
Additional information
Information regarding the flammability of chlorotrifluoroethylene was sourced from four separate sources which are known to contain peer-reviewed data of Klimisch-2 reliability: the NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), the Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials (Ed. 6th), the Condensed Chemical Dictionary (Ed. 9th) and the Critical reviews in Toxicology all of them state that the flammable (explosive) range of CTFE in air in percent by volume is 24 - 40.3%.
Information regarding the flammability of chlorotrifluoroethylene was also sourced a non-peer reviewed sources of Klimisch-4 reliability which, although non-valid, reports that he flammable range of CTFE in air in percent by volume is 14.2 - 43.7%.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) is classified as FLAMMABLE, CATEGORY 1 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
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.
